According to the military, those killed included the commander of Hezbollah's southern front, a communications specialist, and an individual responsible for weapon production.

Another day of airstrikes

Before the strike, Beirut residents were urged to evacuate. This marks the second consecutive day of Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon's capital.

According to the Israeli military, within the last 24 hours, Israeli air forces targeted approximately 175 terrorist sites in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip. These targets included ammunition depots, rocket launchers, and buildings used for military purposes by Hamas and Hezbollah.

65 militants reportedly killed

These operations allegedly resulted in the deaths of over 65 Hezbollah militants, with some reportedly involved in “face-to-face combats.”

Lebanese media confirmed that Israel carried out attacks on more than 50 towns and villages on Sunday. Hezbollah has not yet commented on the situation.

According to the BBC, Israeli authorities reported approximately 200 missiles fired from Lebanon in the past 24 hours.
