For the fourth time this week, Israel carried out a strike on Hezbollah’s south Beirut stronghold, which it said killed the head of the group’s drone unit.

According to AFP, Hezbollah said in a statement that the strike killed Mohammed Srur, born in 1973.

The Israeli military earlier said in a statement that its fighter jets had “targeted and eliminated” Srur, identifying him as “the commander of Hezbollah’s air unit”.

The Israeli military said it was carrying out “precise strikes” in the capital. Lebanon’s health ministry said in a statement that two people were killed in the attack and 15 wounded, “including a woman in critical condition”.

The leader of Yemen’s Huthi rebels, Abdul Malik al-Huthi, said in a televised address earlier on Thursday that the group would “not hesitate to support Lebanon and Hezbollah”.
