\n A senior Hezbollah commander has been killed in an Israeli airstrike in Lebanon.\n <\/p>\n

\n Mohammed Qassem Al-Shaer, a commander of Hezbollah\u2019s elite Radwan Force, was killed in a strike on the village of Qaraoun in the western Beqaa district on Tuesday, according to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).\n <\/p>\n

\n The IDF said Al-Shaer had \u201cadvanced numerous terrorist activities against the state of Israel\u201d and his \u201celimination\u201d would impair the Iran-backed militant group\u2019s ability to launch attacks against Israel from southern Lebanon.\n <\/p>\n

\n Hezbollah confirmed Al-Shaer had been killed and said it responded to his killing by launching \u201cdozens\u201d of Katyusha rockets and several drones toward two locations in northern Israel.\n <\/p>\n

\n The IDF said those attacks caused no casualties, with some of the \u201cprojectiles\u201d being intercepted and others falling in an open area.\n <\/p>\n

\n The Israeli military added that it had responded by striking Hezbollah launchers \u201cin the areas of Mansouri and At Tiri,\u201d which had been used in the attacks.\n <\/p>\n

\n Earlier Tuesday, the Israeli Air Force said it had struck a Hezbollah military structure in the village of Rachaf in\u00a0the Nabatieh governorate of southern Lebanon.\n <\/p>\n

\n Lebanon\u2019s Public Health Emergency Operations Center said the strike on Rachaf wounded 12 people.\n <\/p>\n

\n This comes weeks after Israel said it had killed Hezbollah\u2019s most senior military official, Fu\u2019ad Shukr, in a drone strike in the southern suburbs of Beirut, a populous neighborhood that is also the Iran-backed group\u2019s stronghold.\n <\/p>\n

\n Shukr was the most high-ranking Hezbollah official to have been assassinated since 2016, when Mustafa Badreddine, the group\u2019s top commander at the time, was killed in Syria.\n <\/p>\n

\n The hostilities in July raised the specter of a regional conflagration, prompting intense diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions.\n <\/p>\n

\n There have been almost daily exchanges of fire across the Israel-Lebanon border since war broke out between Israel and Hamas in Gaza on October 7.\n <\/p>\n

\n In the occupied West Bank, at least five people were killed, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Ramallah, after the Israeli military said Wednesday it carried out operations in the areas of Tammon and Tubas.\n <\/p>\n

\n The IDF said it began the operation with the\u00a0Israeli\u00a0Security Agency (ISA) \u201cagainst terrorist infrastructures,\u201d and an air strike was carried out on \u201can armed terrorist squad\u201d in the Tubas area, the IDF said.\n <\/p>\n

\n The governor of Tubas, Ahmad\u00a0As\u2019ad, told CNN the strike hit a group of \u201cyoung unarmed Palestinians\u201d around 3 a.m. local time. The group, which were in their teens and twenties, were sitting near a mosque at the time, he said. As\u2019ad also said five people were killed, as did the Palestine Red Crescent Society.\n <\/p>\n

\n Video obtained by CNN showed at least one motionless body near a mosque in Tubas.\n <\/p>\n

\n As\u2019ad said \u201cwe were informed by the Palestinian Coordination Office of an Israeli military operation on the city and surrounding areas\u201d before the strike.\n <\/p>\n

\n Israeli forces raided the city and blocked access to the government hospital, he said, adding that there is an Israeli military imposed curfew. \u201cThe situation is dangerous,\u201d he said.\n <\/p>\n

\n CNN has reached out to the IDF.\n <\/p>\n

\n The Israeli military has carried out major raids and airstrikes in multiple parts of the West Bank in recent weeks.\n <\/p>\n

\n On August 28, it launched a large counter-terror operation with the ISA in the areas of Jenin, Tulkarem and Tubas in the north of the West Bank, in an offensive Israel said was its most expansive in years.\n <\/p>\n

\n Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said that operation had been staged to \u201cthwart Islamic-Iranian terrorist infrastructure,\u201d claiming that Iran was working to establish an \u201ceastern front\u201d against Israel.\n <\/p>\n

\n Israel has stepped up its military operations in the West Bank, where clashes have become more frequent since Israel began its war in Gaza in response to Hamas\u2019 attack on southern Israel on October 7.\n <\/p>\n

\n Around 700 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank since October, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Ramallah and the UN, whose figures do not distinguish between militants and civilians.\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
