This is the best summary I could come up with:
A senior Hezbollah commander has been killed in an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon, according to a Lebanese security official.
Security sources told the Reuters news agency the victim was the deputy head of a unit within Hezbollah’s elite Radwan force.
Sources told the agency the fatalities came when a car was hit in a strike on the Lebanese village of Majdal Selm.
Middle East correspondent for Sky News, Alistair Bunkall, said the commander belonged to the Radwan force - and the strike comes as US secretary of state Antony Blinken is heading to Israel for talks.
He said: "So clearly the Israelis are deliberately trying to send a message to Hezbollah, by targeting this commander from this unit, that they are in no mood to be messed around on the border.
The US, which has provided crucial military and diplomatic support for the offensive, has called on Israel to take greater measures to spare civilians.
