Hezbollah leader among dead as Israel says it hit militant command centres
At least 10 people have been killed and 24 wounded – including three children – in Israeli strikes in Lebanon’s eastern Bekaa valley, the Lebanese health ministry has said.
Israel said it had hit “command centres” of the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah in the Bekaa valley. Two security sources told Reuters that senior Hezbollah leader Hussein Yaghi was killed in the attacks.
Yaghi is the son of former Hezbollah MP Mohamed Yaghi, and his funeral is set to take place on Saturday, according to Hezbollah media.
Local television footage from the scene of one of the strikes showed the targeted site appeared to be an apartment building. Emergency crews were seen firefighting and searching for survivors.
