A senior Hezbollah commander was reportedly the target of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) when they struck Beirut today in an apparent act of retaliation against a recent Hezbollah bombing of the Golan Heights. That attack hilled 12 children and youths. It should be noted that Hezbollah has denied any responsibility for that attack.
The IDF has released the following statement on the matter:
“The IDF carried out a targeted strike in Beruit on the commander responsible for the murder of the children in Majdal Shams and the killing of numerous additional Israeli civilians.”
According to the National News Agency (the official news agency of the government of Lebanon), there has been a “loud explosion” near the Haret Hreik area of Beruit. Hezbollah’s Shura Council is said to be located in this general area.

In recent days, the United States has repeatedly discouraged Israel from bombing Beirut as such an act could cause an escalation in the ongoing hostilities in the Middle East. Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has publically vowed revenge against the Golan Heights attacks.
