Israel said its forces carried out a strike in Beirut targeting a commander from Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force, marking another escalation in the ongoing conflict between the two sides.
According to Israeli statements, the operation was aimed at a senior figure within the Radwan Force, a key unit responsible for cross-border operations and strategic military activities. The strike is part of a broader campaign by Israel targeting Hezbollah infrastructure and leadership positions across Lebanon.
Israeli military actions in Lebanon have intensified in recent weeks, with repeated airstrikes on Hezbollah-linked sites and personnel. Previous operations have also targeted commanders of the Radwan Force and other senior figures, reflecting a continued focus on weakening the group’s operational capabilities.
There was no immediate confirmation from Hezbollah regarding the identity or status of the targeted commander in the Beirut strike. Casualty details also remain unclear.
The development comes amid ongoing hostilities despite ceasefire efforts, with both sides continuing exchanges of fire. Recent reports indicate that Israeli forces have conducted multiple strikes on Hezbollah targets across Lebanon, while Hezbollah has launched rockets and drones in response.
The conflict, which escalated earlier this year, has drawn international concern due to rising casualties and the risk of broader regional instability. Beirut has been repeatedly affected by strikes targeting Hezbollah-linked locations, including previous operations that reportedly hit senior commanders.
The situation remains fluid, with no immediate indication of de-escalation. Both Israel and Hezbollah continue to maintain active military operations, underscoring the fragile security environment in the region.
