The senior Hezbollah commander believed to be responsible for the rocket barrage on Israel has been killed in an airstrike, in what appears to be a decisive blow to the Islamist terrorist militia Hezbollah.
Israel and the radical Islamist group Hezbollah in Lebanon continued their battle on Tuesday. The situation threatens to escalate. The Israeli army said it had hit dozens of Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon and also in Beirut. More than 50 projectiles were fired from Lebanon into northern Israel. According to Lebanese figures, 550 people have been killed in Israeli airstrikes so far. UN officials have sounded the alarm.
According to information from the Reuters news agency, Hezbollah commander Ibrahim Qubaisi may have been hit in one of these attacks. Qubaisi was a senior commander of Hezbollah’s missile force. The attack is said to have taken place in a suburb of Beirut, which is considered a stronghold of the Lebanese terrorist organization. According to the authorities, the airstrike killed six people and wounded 15.
“Large number” of Hezbollah members killed
On Monday alone, the Israeli military said it had struck more than 1,600 targets to destroy military assets of the Iran-backed Shiite militia. The military said a “large number” of Hezbollah members were killed. The Lebanese government said at least 492 people were killed in Israeli strikes on Monday. Health Minister Firass Abiad said Tuesday that 558 people were killed. Among them were 50 children and 94 women. 1,835 people were wounded.
Israeli military chief of staff Herzi Halevi announced further attacks on Hezbollah. The militia must not be given a break. “The situation requires continued, intensive action in all areas.” The army later announced that it had struck targets in Beirut. According to security sources in Lebanon, the airstrike targeted a Hezbollah commander.
