Al Jazeera\u2019s Zeina Khodr, reporting from the site of the strike in Jnah, said security sources referred to the incident as a targeted assassination aimed at vehicles, rather than an apartment block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is not clear whether the attack targeted two cars or one,\u201d Khodr said. \u201cThere were a lot of vehicles parked on the side of the road because there is a school nearby, where displaced people are taking shelter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Israeli military said it had aimed to kill a senior Hezbollah commander, but the Lebanese armed group has not confirmed or denied the assassination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn fact, it hasn\u2019t really been posting any death notices for quite some time,\u201d Khodr added. \u201cWe only know about the death of some of its fighters from social media posts from their families.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
