An Israeli airstrike on a car in south Lebanon seriously wounded a Hezbollah official on Thursday, a Lebanese security source said.
The official was "seriously wounded and a companion was also injured" in the strike in the city of Nabatiyeh, some way from the border region that has seen almost daily exchanges of fire since the Israel-Hamas war broke out last October, the source told AFP on condition of anonymity.
Lebanon's state-run National News Agency reported that the vehicle had caught fire after it was hit by missile fired by an Israeli drone as it entered Nabatiyeh at around 4:15 pm (1415 GMT).
Earlier, Hezbollah said it had targeted a brigade headquarters in the Israeli border town of Kiryat Shmona in the latest exchanges between the two sides.
The Israeli military also said a missile attack from Lebanon wounded three soldiers, one of them severely.
The military said it struck infrastructure and a military compound linked to Hezbollah in retaliation for Thursday’s attack, which involved an anti-tank missile.
Israel and Hezbollah have traded fire on a daily basis since the start of the war in Gaza.
In Israel, 18 people have been killed and more than 170 wounded in attacks from Lebanon. More than 200 people, mostly Hezbollah fighters but also more than 20 civilians, have been killed on the Lebanese side. Tens of thousands have been displaced on both sides. There are no immediate prospects for their return.
