The senior Hezbollah commander of field operations, Jawad al-Tawil, has been eliminated in a surgical air strike which destroyed his car.
He is reported to be the one commander responsible for the attack on the Israeli Meron air traffic control centre on Saturday in which Hezbollah claims to have "blinded" the Israeli air force.
