A senior Hezbollah commander was targeted in an Israeli attack in the southern suburbs of Beirut, Lebanon, resulting in at least one person being killed. The loud blast and smoke rising above Hezbollah’s stronghold signaled the strike on Tuesday evening. The Israeli military stated that the operation was a response to the killing of Israeli civilians, including children, in Majdal Shams. Despite Hezbollah denying responsibility for the attack, Israel and the United States have held the Lebanese armed group accountable. The Israeli strike on Beirut was seen as a retaliation for the incidents in Majdal Shams. The Lebanese official warned of Hezbollah’s response to any Israeli aggression. The situation remains tense in the region following the attack.
