Israel carried out a rare strike on Beirut, targeting a Hezbollah commander allegedly responsible for a rocket attack that killed 12 young people in the Golan Heights. The attack resulted in at least one woman being killed and dozens injured. Israeli military spokesperson Daniel Hagari stated that the strike targeted Fouad Shukur, also known as Sayved Mohsen, Hezbollah’s senior military commander. The commander’s death was not immediately confirmed by Hezbollah, and the extent of his injuries remains unclear. The Lebanese Prime Minister condemned the attack as a violation of international law, and Iran and Syria also criticized the strike. The IDF and Hezbollah have been engaging in near-daily strikes for the past ten months. The recent attack in Beirut marks a significant escalation in hostilities between the two sides. The strike has raised concerns about the potential for a full-scale war between Israel and Hezbollah. The attack underscores the volatile situation in the region and the ongoing tensions between Israel and its adversaries. The international community has been called upon to intervene and prevent further escalation of the conflict.
