Israel conducted an airstrike on Tuesday, targeting what it identified as a senior Hezbollah commander responsible for a deadly rocket attack over the weekend.
This attack reportedly killed several people in the same building as the commander. It was carried out using drones in the Hezbollah-dominated suburb of Beirut.
Tensions intensify in an already volatile region.
Pro-Hezbollah officials, speaking on local media channels, claim that the operation failed to kill its intended target.

Hezbollah Commander Killed
Israel issued a statement identifying the targeted commander as Fuad Shukr, also known as Hajj Mohsin. Described as the “right-hand man” to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, Shukr was a senior member of the group’s jihad council.
The United States had placed a $5 million bounty on Shukr’s head for his involvement in the 1983 Marine barracks bombing in Beirut. He had a long-standing role in anti-Western and anti-Israeli attacks.
