A senior Hezbollah commander killed in an Israeli air strike in southern Lebanon on Tuesday is the most senior casualty from the group since war broke out with Israel in October, Reuters reports, citing security sources.
The air strike hit Taleb Abdallah, also known as Abou Taleb, in the town of Jouaiyya, killing him and three others. The anonymous sources told Reuters they were likely targeted during a meeting.
Said sources added that Abdallah was Hezbollah’s commander for the central region of Lebanon’s southern border and was senior to Wissam al-Tawil – another high-level Hezbollah commander killed in January.
