Hezbollah in a statement confirmed the death Muhammad Nimah Nasser, also known as Abu Nimah. Regional reports say that he commanded Hezbollah’s Aziz regional division in southern Lebanon (one of three divisions operating there).
His high rank within the organization is confirmed in the fact that the Hezbollah statement referred to him as a "commander" - which it reserves for only the most senior level operatives.
With the situation already on edge, given both sides are warning that 'all-out war' could be imminent, the marks the second high commander that Israeli has killed in less than two weeks.
Last month a commander named Taleb Abdulla, who headed the Nasr regional division, was taken out in an Israeli strike. Before that, in January the deputy head of the elite Radwan unit Wissam al-Tawil was killed.
The Associated Press reports that "In a video circulated by local media, residents rushed toward a charred vehicle with a large plume of smoke. Civil Defense said its first responders transported an unnamed wounded person to a hospital."
Meanwhile, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has told troops during a visit Gaza border that tanks currently completing their tasks in Rafah and now being pulled from the theater can be deployed in the north where they "can reach as far as the Litani" river. The Lebanon river lies 10 miles north of Israel’s border.
