An Israeli attack today has allegedly killed a Hezbollah top commander in the southern outskirts of the capital. As concerns of a full-scale conflict in the Middle East grew, several security officials in Lebanon indicated that the target was a prominent member of its rocket section.
Ibrahim Qubaisi was the top figure who was killed, according to the reports. The assault, which claimed six lives, delivered the militants yet another setback. During the recent days, Israeli military and intelligence has dealt Hezbollah a number of blows. Concerns that the battle that has lasted for almost a year could blow up and destabilize the Middle East have intensified due to the strain on Lebanese militia. There is now not a stop in sight to the violence that is unfolding in Gaza involving Israel and Hamas.
Israel launched a fresh round of airstrikes on sites in Lebanon before targeting the Hezbollah-controlled portion of the Lebanese capital for a less than a day after similar attacks on Beirut. Hours earlier, Hezbollah claimed to have launched missiles into northern Israel.
Israel is turning its attention to the northern line after fighting the Palestinian organization Hamas on southern front for almost a year. Since the start of the Gaza War, Hezbollah has been launching missiles into Israel in solidarity with Hamas and people in Gaza.
The original death toll from the Beirut strike was six killed and fifteen wounded, according to the local health department. A residence in the typically bustling Ghobeiry neighborhood was struck by the strike.
A picture of the top level of the five-story building with damage was given by the security officials. A day earlier, the Israeli armed forces attacked Hezbollah infrastructure with airstrikes. The worst day in several decades in Lebanon, according to Lebanese officials, claimed the lives of almost 500 people.
Protecting the northern region and repatriating citizens there have become top priorities for the Israeli administration. It created the conditions for a protracted struggle, and Hezbollah has pledged to keep fighting until a cease-fire is achieved in Gaza.
Panic has spread throughout Lebanon as a result of the number of casualties and the severity of the strikes by the most potent and sophisticated army in the region. The 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah has given rise to terrible damage to the nation.
