Israel killed Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' (IRGC) Brigadier General Abbas Nilforoushan during a bombardment in Lebanon's capital of Beirut on Friday, Iranian media reported on Saturday.
The Israeli military has not confirmed the reports. Israel's military announced that the leader of Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hassan Nasrallah, was killed during Friday's strikes on Beirut. Hezbollah has also confirmed Nasrallah's death.
Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah have been exchanging heavy fire ever since an electronic device attack on Hezbollah last week killed dozens and injured thousands more. Israel is widely thought to have launched last week's attack but it has not taken responsibility for it.
Though Hezbollah and Israel have been exchanging fire for 11 months amid Israel's war with Hamas, an ally of Hezbollah, in Gaza, recent escalations between the two have created concerns of an all-out war between Hezbollah and Israel.
