Israel has carried out an air strike on the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital, Beirut, for the first time in months, targeting a senior member of the militant group Hezbollah, despite a ceasefire.
The office of the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the target was Hezbollah's chief of staff.
Israeli media reports identified him as Ali Tabtai, describing him as the group's number two.
Lebanon's health ministry said at least one person had been killed and 21 others wounded in the strike, which hit an apartment building in the densely populated Dahieh district. It was not immediately clear if the person killed was Tabtai.
The attack happens as Israel has escalated its campaign on people and targets it says are linked to Hezbollah - a Shia Muslim group supported by Iran - despite a ceasefire brokered by the US and France that came into effect last November.
