security sources identified him as Wissam al-Tawil, the deputy
head of a unit within the Radwan force. They said he and another
Hezbollah fighter were killed when their car was hit in a strike
on the Lebanese village of Majdal Selm.
"This is a very painful strike," one of the security sources
said. Another said, "things will flare up now."
Israeli bombardment has killed more than 130 Hezbollah fighters
in southern Lebanon since cross-border shelling began in the
aftermath of Hamas's attack on Israeli territory on Oct. 7.
Another 19 have been killed in Syria.
Hezbollah's secretary-general Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah warned
Israel in two televised addresses last week not to launch a
full-scale war on Lebanon.
"Whoever thinks of war with us - in one word, he will regret
it," Nasrallah said.
