The army said Nabil Kaouk, the deputy head of Hezbollah's Central Council, was killed on Saturday.
There was no immediate comment from Hezbollah, and it was not known where the strike took place.
Several senior Hezbollah commanders have been killed in Israeli strikes in recent weeks, including founding members of the group who had evaded death for decades and were close to Nasrallah himself.
A wave of Israeli airstrikes across large parts of Lebanon has killed at least 1,030 people — including 156 women and 87 children — in less than two weeks, according to Lebanon's Health Ministry.
Kaouk was a veteran member of Hezbollah going back to the 1980s and served as Hezbollah's military commander in southern Lebanon during the 2006 war with Israel.
He often appeared in local media, where he would comment on politics and security developments, and he gave eulogies at the funerals of senior militants.
