More than 130 Hezbollah fighters including Radwan members have been killed in hostilities since the group’s Palestinian ally Hamas attacked Israel from Gaza on October 7,igniting a conflict that has rippled around the region.
It has marked the deadliest confrontation between Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah since they went to war in 2006,with Hezbollah firing guided rockets and other weapons at Israeli positions and Israel launching air and artillery strikes.
Tens of thousands of people on both sides of the frontier have fled,and the fighting has raised concern of an even wider conflict.
Tawil and another Hezbollah fighter were killed when the car they were in was struck in the village of Majdal Selm,some six kilometres from the border,three sources in Lebanon said.
There was no immediate comment from Israel.
Hezbollah circulated photographs of Tawil with leaders of the heavily armed,Shiite Muslim group including Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and Imad Mughniyeh,its military commander who was killed in Syria in 2008.
