The individual targeted in the strike was Abu al-Fadl Qarnabsh, former companion to Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah, according to the Lebanese media outlet Al Jadeed News.
An alleged Israeli strike hit a vehicle in Syrian territory on the Damascus-Beirut highway, killing one of Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's former bodyguards, who security sources said was lately involved in transporting weapons for the terror group.
Official involved in transport of weapons
Hezbollah issued a statement mourning Yasser Nimr Qarbash without elaborating on his role in the organization.
Two security sources said the former bodyguard had become a mid-ranking Hezbollah official involved in the transport of weapons.
