He and two other Hezbollah fighters under his command were killed in an air strike in Sultaniya. Hezbollah confirmed the commander's death but gave no further details. It is the worst escalation since the second Lebanon war in 2006. At least 359 people are said to have been killed, most of them Hezbollah fighters. Ten soldiers and eight civilians also died in Israel.
