Senior Hezbollah commander killed by Israeli strike
AN ISRAELI strike killed a senior Hezbollah commander in southern Lebanon today as tensions between the two sides remain high.
The attack, near the southern coastal city of Tyre, took place amid global diplomatic efforts in recent weeks to prevent escalating clashes between Hezbollah and the Israeli military from spiralling into an all-out war.
A Hezbollah statement identified the victim of the strike as Mohammad Naameh Nasser, who went by the name Abu Naameh.
