Senior Hezbollah Commander Assassinated in Suspected Israeli Strike in Lebanon
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A suspected Israeli strike in southern Lebanon killed a senior commander
in an elite unit of Hezbollah earlier today in a move that further
escalates tension in the region. Security sources told Reuters that
Israel struck a car carrying Wissam al-Tawil and another Hezbollah
fighter. Last week, Israel assassinated a Hamas leader outside of
Beirut.
