BEIRUT, Jan. 10 (Xinhua) -- A Hezbollah official was killed on Wednesday at dawn in Lebanon's southeastern village of Kfarchouba, Lebanese military sources told Xinhua.
The sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that an Israeli drone fired two missiles toward a house in the center of Kfarchouba, killing 50-year-old Hezbollah official Nabegh al-Qadri, and wounding another.
According to the sources, al-Qadri survived an assassination attempt two months ago when his house was targeted with several artillery shells fired from the Israeli Ruwaisat al-Alam site, partially destroying his house and forcing him to move to a rented house in the village.
The Lebanon-Israel border witnessed increased tension since Oct. 8 after Hezbollah fired dozens of rockets toward Israel in support of the Hamas attacks on Israel the previous day, prompting Israel to respond by firing heavy artillery toward southeastern Lebanon.
The confrontations between Hezbollah and Israel have killed 213 on the Lebanese side, including 158 Hezbollah members and 35 civilians, according to Lebanese security sources. ■
