Raad's Son Among 5 Hezbollah Fighters Killed in Israeli Strike in South Lebanon
The son of a senior Hezbollah lawmaker was killed Wednesday in Israeli bombardment in south Lebanon, a source close to the family told AFP.
The son of Mohammed Raad, head of Hezbollah's parliamentary bloc, "was killed with a number of other Hezbollah members" in an Israeli strike on a house in Beit Yahoun, the source said, requesting anonymity as they were not authorized to speak to the media.
