Israeli missiles struck Beirut on Wednesday for the first time since a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah was agreed last month. The attack targeted buildings and infrastructure in the Lebanese capital, marking a significant escalation after weeks of relative calm.
Hezbollah Commander Killed
The Israeli army confirmed that the commander of Hezbollah's Radwan force, the elite unit of the pro-Iran armed group, was killed in one of the strikes. The Radwan force is known for its specialized operations and has been a key target for Israel throughout the conflict.
Continued Attacks in Southern Lebanon
Despite the ceasefire agreement, Israeli airstrikes have continued in southern Lebanon. Several people were killed in these attacks, according to local reports. The ceasefire, which was intended to halt hostilities, has been repeatedly violated, raising concerns about the stability of the region.
The strikes in Beirut and the south underscore the fragile nature of the truce and the ongoing tensions between Israel and Hezbollah. International observers have called for restraint, but the situation remains volatile.
