Beirut (AFP) – An Israeli air strike on Monday seriously wounded a local Hezbollah official in his car in Lebanon's south, a Lebanese security source told AFP.

Israeli forces and the Lebanese movement Hezbollah, a Hamas ally, have traded near-daily fire since war broke out on October 7 between Israel and the Palestinian militant group in the Gaza Strip.

In the past few days, a series of Israeli strikes has injured officials from Lebanese and Palestinian armed groups in southern Lebanon.

The source said an Israeli strike "targeted a local Hezbollah official in the town of Bint Jbeil" and the official was "seriously injured".
