Share:
Israel conducted a targeted airstrike on a Beirut suburb, marking the first such attack since a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon took effect at midnight on April 16-17. According to AFP sources, the strike killed the commander of Hezbollah's elite Radwan unit along with his deputy. The ceasefire agreement has been repeatedly tested, with fighting continuing in southern Lebanon despite the truce. Hezbollah is a powerful Lebanese militant group and political party backed by Iran that has been engaged in cross-border exchanges with Israeli forces.
