  This is the moment Israel wipes out a top Hezbollah commander in a precision airstrike on his car in Lebanon.

Footage shows a car driving along a road before a missile strikes the vehicle. A huge fireball can be seen after the missile hit its target, with clouds of smoke billowing into the sky. 

The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) said in a statement that the strike in south Lebanon killed Hussein Ali Azqul, a 'significant' operative in Hezbollah's aerial defence unit.

State media and witnesses said the strike happened in the area of Adloun, between the coastal cities of Sidon and Tyre, about 25 miles north of the border with Israel. 

The IDF said Azqul was 'heavily involved in the planning and execution of terrorist attacks against Israel.'
