An alleged Israeli strike hit a vehicle in Syrian territory on the Damascus-Beirut highway, killing one of Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's former bodyguards, who security sources said was lately involved in transporting weapons for the terror group.
Hezbollah issued a statement mourning Yasser Nimr Qarbash without elaborating on his role in the organization.
Two security sources said the former bodyguard had become a mid-ranking Hezbollah official involved in the transport of weapons.
Israel typically does not discuss attacks by its forces in Syria. When asked about the strike, an Israeli military spokesperson told Reuters: "We do not comment on reports in the foreign media."
