Israeli strike kills son of top Hezbollah commander, source says

The son of a late, top Hezbollah commander was killed Sunday by an Israeli airstrike in Syria, a source close to Hezbollah said.

Jihad Mughniyeh, the son of Imad Mughniyeh, was believed to be in his early 20s. His father was assassinated in Syria in 2008.

According to a statement from the Lebanon-based militant group Hezbollah, a group was doing a field inspection in Quneitra when a helicopter opened fire. At least six people were killed, and a child was injured, said Syrian TV.

The Israel Defense Forces declined to comment on the report.
