Israel Kills Three Hezbollah Members in Drone Strike, Hezbollah Fires Rockets in North

From @jasonditz

Israel has carried out a fresh attack in southern Lebanon, at the border town of Ghandouriyeh, where three drone attacks reportedly killed three Hezbollah members. Of the three, only the identity of one has been disclosed.

The Israeli military claims that one of the slain was Ali Hussein Burji, who they described as the “commander” of Hezbollah’s aerial forces, and responsible for recent drone strikes in northern Israel.

The three were killed while driving in a car not far from where Israel assassinated Hezbollah leader Wissam Hassan Tawil on Monday. An al-Jazeera reporter said she was present on the road at the time of the recent attack, and a Hezbollah official confirmed the deaths of their members.

A local paramedic was also wounded in the Israeli attack, as Israel wanted to keep the ambulance from reaching and trying to save the victims of the strike. It was unclear if there were any further casualties.
