Hezbollah commander killed in Damascus

The Israeli military said it killed Hezbollah's liaison with the Syrian army in an air strike on Damascus on Tuesday as a fragile six-day-old ceasefire stutters.

"The (Israeli Air Force) conducted an intelligence-based strike in Damascus targeting Hezbollah's representative to the Syrian military, Salman Nemer Jomaa," the military said, adding he played a key role in weapons deliveries between Syria and the militant group.

"As part of his duties, Jomaa was responsible for coordination between Hezbollah agents and the Syrian army, including to support the smuggling of weapons between Syria and Hezbollah," it added.

Syrian state news agency SANA had reported an Israeli strike on a car on the road to Damascus's international airport, while a war monitor reported one person killed.
