One dead, 10 injured as Israeli missiles hit Lebanon
An Israeli drone on Tuesday fired several missiles at a flat in a five-story building in the market town of Nabatieh in southern Lebanon.
Eight people were injured, according to an initial toll announced by the Lebanese Health Ministry.
It was not immediately clear whether there were any Hezbollah members in the targeted building.
Earlier, an Israeli drone assassinated a Hezbollah fighter riding a motorbike on the Bab Mareaa-Saghbine road in Western Bekaa and wounded two passersby.
Hezbollah said that one of its fighters, Mohammad Qassem al-Shaer, was killed but did not specify where and when he was killed.
The Israeli army confirmed it “struck and eliminated” the terrorist Mohammad Qassem al-Shaer, who served as a Hezbollah Radwan Force commander, in the area of Qaraoun.
It added that the Israeli artillery struck the areas of Sawaneh and Aita al-Shaab.
Since the war began between Israel and the Palestinian militant organisation Hamas in Gaza last October, there have been clashes between the Israeli army and the pro-Iranian Hezbollah in Lebanon in the border area.
There have been casualties on both sides, most of them members of Hezbollah, which says it is acting in solidarity with Hamas.
