A local Hezbollah official and three other members of the Iran-aligned group were killed in an Israeli strike in southern Lebanon Wednesday, Reuters reported.
The strike comes at a time of heightened tensions, with Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah vowing to retaliate against Israel for the assassination of Hamas official Saleh al-Arouri in a southern Beirut suburb that is also a Hezbollah stronghold.
The strike brings Hezbollah’s death toll to nine on Wednesday, according to Reuters, marking one of the deadliest days for the group since it began fighting Israel along Lebanon’s southern border in October.
