On Tuesday, the Israeli military confirmed that it conducted a targeted strike in Beirut against a Hezbollah commander they held accountable for a recent attack in the Golan Heights, which resulted in the deaths of 12 children and teenagers over the weekend.
The strike caused a loud explosion and a visible plume of smoke rising above the southern suburbs of Beirut, a well-known Hezbollah stronghold, at approximately 7:40 p.m. (1640 GMT), according to a Reuters witness.
In a statement, the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) said, "The IDF carried out a targeted strike in Beirut on the commander responsible for the murder of the children in Majdal Shams and the killing of numerous additional Israeli civilians."
The situation marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, heightening tensions in the already volatile region.
