Palestinian commander killed in Lebanon as Israel, Hezbollah exchange fire
A suspected Israeli drone attack on a car in southern Lebanon has killed a commander from a coalition of Palestinian armed groups as tensions remain high along the Israel-Lebanon border. The attack targeted a car in the city of Sidon on Wednesday morning, killing Khalil al-Maqdah, a senior officer of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades. A Hamas commander was also killed in the same region earlier this month. Meanwhile, the Israeli army launched a series of overnight air raids targeting what it said were ammunition depots belonging to Lebanon's Hezbollah group in the country's Bekaa region, killing one person and wounding at least 20 others. Hezbollah said it launched dozens of rockets towards northern Israel and the occupied Golan Heights.
