@financialjuice reported the development based on the Alhadath broadcast.
Dahiya has figured in past conflicts between Israel and Hezbollah. The area sustained heavy damage during the 2006 war and has been struck again in subsequent exchanges of fire. Neither the United States nor Israel has commented on the latest Alhadath account.
The absence of official confirmation leaves the extent and nature of any coordination unclear. Alhadath did not release the name of the Israeli official or supporting evidence for the assertion.
