Hezbollah commander killed in Israeli drone attack

Hezbollah has confirmed that one of its senior commanders has been killed.

A senior commander with the Islamist Hezbollah movement, Wissam Tawil, has reportedly been killed in an apparent Israeli drone attack in southern Lebanon. Reports suggest a car was targeted in the Khirbet Selm area, which veered off the road before catching fire. Meanwhile, the US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, has been holding talks with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia on the latest leg of his diplomatic mission to the Middle East. We get more details from our regional editor in the newsroom.
