Israel carried out an airstrike in Beirut on Sunday, marking the first attack on the Lebanese capital since June. The Israeli army said it conducted a precise operation aimed at a senior Hezbollah figure in the city.
Israeli Army Radio identified the target as Ali Tabatabai, described as Hezbollah’s acting chief of staff. There has been no confirmation from Hezbollah.
Lebanon’s National News Agency reported that hostile aircraft struck a southern suburb of Beirut, causing injuries and heavy damage. Video from the Haret Hreik neighbourhood showed a rising plume of smoke and crowds gathering near the impact site.
The Israeli military offered no additional details beyond calling it a precise strike. Casualty figures have not yet been confirmed.
The attack came amid intensified Israeli strikes across southern Lebanon in recent weeks. Tensions along the border have escalated as Israel and the United States increase pressure on Lebanon to dismantle Hezbollah’s military capabilities.
Lebanon’s military has approved a plan to disarm the group by the end of the year, although the government has rejected Israeli claims that Hezbollah is rebuilding its forces in the south.
The situation remains highly volatile as both sides brace for potential escalation.
