Hezbollah announced that one of their fighters was among the three people killed in an Israeli strike on the town of Bint Jbeil late last night, Al Jazeera reports.

The other two victims were the fighter’s brother and sister-in-law, according to Lebanese state media.

The fighter’s brother, named as Ibrahim Bazzi, had arrived in Lebanon just days ago from Australia, where he had lived for years. He had returned to reunite with his wife and travel back with her to Australia.

The strike that killed the family members also wounded another one of their relatives, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency.
