An Israeli strike in south Lebanon killed Wissam al-Tawil, a senior Hezbollah commander. The deputy head of a unit within the Radwan force was killed along with another fighter in a car hit in Majdal Selm. Tensions are expected to escalate, with warnings from Hezbollah’s leader and recent casualties in both Lebanon and Syria.
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.
Earlier, an Israeli drone struck a Hamas office in the southern suburbs of Lebanon’s capital Beirut, killing six people including Hamas leader Saleh al-Arouri.
Saleh al-Arouri, who embraced martyrdom in the attack, was a founding member of the armed wing of Hamas.
