Both Hezbollah and the Israeli army confirmed that a commander of the group was killed in a drone strike on a car in South Lebanon.

The strike on Ismail Yusaf Baz came as Hezbollah claimed to have hit an Israeli Iron Dome battery, causing casualties among the Israeli crew.

The Israeli army said it carried out an attack in South Lebanon on Tuesday, adding: "Hezbollah's coastal sector commander Ismail Yusuf Baz" was killed.

Hezbollah sources announced that Baz was killed in an attack on the village of Ayn Baal, approximately fifteen kilometers from the Israeli border.

The Lebanese National News Agency (ANI) stated that one person died in the Israeli attack on Ayn Baal, adding that there were also deaths in another attack targeting two vehicles in Shehabiye, about ten kilometers away.

Hezbollah announced that Baz and two other fighters died in Israeli attacks, but did not provide further details.
