Israeli Airstrike on Beirut Kills 37, Including Senior Hezbollah Leaders
The deadliest strike on the Lebanese capital since 2006 has intensified the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, raising fears of a broader regional war.
- Friday's airstrike targeted a densely populated Beirut suburb, killing 37 people, including women and children, and wounding 68 others.
- Among the dead were Ibrahim Akil, head of Hezbollah's elite Radwan Force, and senior commander Ahmed Wahbi.
- The strike followed an intense Hezbollah bombardment of northern Israel, which was mostly intercepted by Israeli defense systems.
- The ongoing cross-border attacks have displaced tens of thousands, with 90,000 people fleeing southern Lebanon and 60,000 leaving northern Israel.
- Hezbollah vows to continue its rocket attacks until a cease-fire is reached in Gaza, while Israel aims to stop northern attacks to allow residents to return home.
