A Hezbollah official in southern Lebanon was "seriously wounded" in an Israeli air strike on Monday, a Lebanese security source told AFP.
In addition to the official, four of the Lebanese movement's fighters were killed in the strike.
The security source told AFP that the strike "targeted a local Hezbollah official in the town of Bint Jbeil".
The Israeli military said in a statement on X that "an aircraft struck a vehicle in which Hezbollah terrorists were identified in the area of Maroun El Ras," which is on the edge of Bint Jbeil.
Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the group Palestinian Islamic Jihad said two of its members were killed. The group has a presence in Lebanon and has also been fighting against Israel in Gaza alongside Hamas.
