Israel launched an airstrike on Beirut's southern suburbs on Wednesday, marking the first attack on the Lebanese capital since a ceasefire with Hezbollah took effect last month, in a major escalation that threatens to unravel the fragile truce between the two sides.
The Israeli military said the strike targeted a commander of Hezbollah's elite Radwan Force in the Dahiyeh district, a Hezbollah stronghold in southern Beirut, reported ABC. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the targeted operative was linked to attacks against Israeli civilians and soldiers along the northern border.
