JERUSALEM — The Israeli military said Monday it killed a Hezbollah commander in an overnight air strike in Lebanon, as cross-border violence flares between Israel and the Iran-backed armed group.
The military said Hussein had “carried out numerous launches toward Israeli territory” from Lebanon since war broke out on Oct. 7 between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas, a Hezbollah ally. Hezbollah, which has a powerful arsenal of rockets and missiles, has exchanged regular fire with Israeli forces since its ally Hamas carried out the unprecedented October 7 attack on Israel, triggering war in the Gaza Strip.
The latest overnight strike on Lebanon came after the Israeli army said on Sunday it had completed “another phase of… readiness for war” on the Lebanon front.
