An Israeli strike on south Lebanon on Monday killed a senior commander
in Hezbollah's elite Radwan force, three security sources told Reuters.
The security sources identified him as Wissam al-Tawil, the deputy head
of a unit within the Radwan force. They said he and another Hezbollah
fighter were killed when their car was hit in a strike on the Lebanese
village of Majdal Selm.
"This is a very painful strike," one of the security sources said.
Another said, "things will flare up now."
Israeli bombardment has killed more than 130 Hezbollah fighters in
southern Lebanon since cross-border shelling began in the aftermath of
Hamas's attack on Israeli territory on Oct. 7. Another 19 have been
killed in Syria.
Hezbollah's secretary-general Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah warned Israel in
two televised addresses last week not to launch a full-scale war on
Lebanon.
"Whoever thinks of war with us - in one word, he will regret it,"
Nasrallah said.
