An Israeli airstrike late Thursday killed members of Hezbollah's elite Radwan Force at a home in southern Lebanon, state media and a Hezbollah official said.
A Hezbollah official said the strike killed several members of the secretive Radwan Force, which operates along the border. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations, gave no further details or the names of the members killed.
The airstrike on the village of Jmaijmeh also wounded several people and ambulances rushed to the area, state-run National News Agency said. The agency did not immediately report deaths.
Earlier in the day, two separate drone strikes in south Lebanon and another in the eastern Bekaa Valley killed a Hezbollah member and an official of al-Jamaa al-Islamiya.
The Israeli military said it had killed a Radwan Force operations unit commander it named as Ali Jaafar Maatouk, along with another commander responsible for Radwan Force operations in the Hajir region. It said additional Radwan Force fighters were also killed in the strike.
Maatouk was killed in one of several strikes on the neighboring border villages of Safad El Battikh and Jmaijmeh, sources said. Eighteen wounded were taken to nearby Tebnine government hospital, its director Mohammed Hamadi told Reuters.
