Five members of Hezbollah - the powerful Iranian-backed militia in Lebanon - have been killed in an Israeli strike in Beit Yahoun, south Lebanon, according to the Shia Islamist group.
Abbas Raad, son of senior Hezbollah figure and Lebanese lawmaker Mohammad Raad was one of them, the group says.
According to Reuters news agency, a total of 85 Hezbollah fighters have now been killed since violence broke out along the Israel-Lebanon border.
Israel's army said it struck several Hezbollah targets in Lebanon on Wednesday evening, including "terror infrastructure" and "terror cells" that tried to launch rockets into Israel and fired at Israeli troops.
Hezbollah is the largest political and military force in Lebanon. It is classed as a terrorist organisation by the UK, US and the Arab League.
