A military security source has said that an Israeli strike on a car in south Lebanon has killed a Hezbollah official, AFP reports.

Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency (NNA) reports “a raid by an enemy drone targeted a car” in Bazuriyeh in south Lebanon’s Tyre district, reporting at least one dead.

The source, requesting anonymity as they were not authorised to speak to the media, has said the person killed was “a Hezbollah official”.

Hezbollah did not immediately comment on the strike but announced it carried out attacks on Israeli positions.

An AFP correspondent reports that the targeted vehicle was destroyed and debris scattered nearby, and said authorities had cordoned off the area.
