At least 12 people were killed and dozens more injured in a deadly Israeli strike in a Beirut suburb on Friday. The Israeli military reported that they had successfully targeted and killed a senior Hezbollah commander in the attack.
The strike occurred in a densely populated area, causing widespread destruction and leaving many residents trapped under the rubble. Rescue workers rushed to the scene to search for survivors and provide aid to the injured.
The Israeli military defended the strike, stating that they were targeting a high-ranking Hezbollah leader responsible for planning and carrying out attacks against Israel. They claimed that the operation was conducted in self-defense and in accordance with international law.
Hezbollah, a Lebanon-based political and militant group, vowed to retaliate against Israel for the attack. They denounced the strike as a blatant act of aggression and promised to respond with force.
The incident has further escalated tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, raising concerns of a potential increase in violence and conflict in the region. The international community has called for restraint and a de-escalation of hostilities to prevent further loss of life and destruction.
The Israeli strike has sparked outrage and condemnation from various countries and organizations, with many calling for an immediate ceasefire and a return to diplomatic efforts to resolve the long-standing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
As the situation continues to unfold, the world watches anxiously to see how the two sides will respond and whether efforts to restore peace and stability in the region will prevail.
