A Hezbollah official and his son were killed in a munitions explosion in their home in southern Lebanon on Monday, security sources said. Three other people were killed in the blast in Tayr Filsi village on the southern bank of the Litani river, just inside UN peacekeepers' area of operations.
UNIFIL, the peacekeeping force that was beefed up after Israel and Hezbollah fought a war in southern Lebanon in 2006, said it was checking the report. The cause of the blast appeared to be accidental. The area was cordoned off. Hezbollah were not reachable for comment.
An Israeli army spokesman said they were checking the report. Israel and the United States have accused Hezbollah of violating a UN weapons embargo in southern Lebanon and undermining the efforts of UN peacekeepers there. Israel accused Hezbollah of secretly stockpiling weapons after a suspected arms cache belonging to the guerrilla group exploded earlier this year.
