Israel on Tuesday carried out a rare strike on Beirut, which it said killed a top Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr who was allegedly behind a weekend rocket attack that killed 12 young people in the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights. The strike in the Lebanese capital killed at least one woman and two children and wounded dozens of people.
It is not yet clear if Fuad Shukr was killed in the attack. Security sources in Beirut say the intended target was not in the building. Hezbollah has not yet made a statement.
Though Hezbollah issued a rare denial of involvement in the rocket attack Saturday in the town of Majdal Shams, Israel is holding the militant group responsible. "Hezbollah crossed a red line,” Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant posted on the platform X shortly after Tuesday's strike.
Lebanon's public health ministry said Tuesday's strike in a southern suburb of Beirut wounded 74 people, some of them seriously. The wounded were taken to nearby hospitals. Bahman Hospital near the site of the blast called for blood donations.
“The Israeli enemy has committed a great stupid act in size, timing and circumstances by targeting an entirely civilian area,” Hezbollah official Ali Ammar told Al-Manar TV. "The Israeli enemy will pay a price for this sooner or later.”

We’ve been clear about that from the very beginning,” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said.
No, we aren’t….LOL….these could be headlines from any time in the last 50 years.
Nah, it is fine
The actual war will start when Trump wins the election and allows Russia to annex Ukraine. Russia will go further like Hitler did.
Damn lil 🧢 people ugh
Israel needs a regional war because the settler colonial ethnostate is imploding. It’s willing to do any irrational action to provoke one. Obviously, they expect the American military to fight that war. Whichever Zionist-owned puppet is selected to be in the White House, he or she is going to be more than happy to send American young men and women to die for the master race. The new draft bill is already in motion to make that possible.
Nah. It’d probably be a regional war like in the past with Israel vs multiple Arab countries. But I don’t think it’ll be a world war
If one stands where water flows, one is likely to get wet.
Don’t cry about the rain, when you go out without un umbrella.
Tptb are exposed , they have only WW3 left in their bag of tricks
Closer or already in it?
COVID and then the rise in food prices, petrol ..housing, everything and anything..we are already in a silent war.
Technically the truth…Every day actually is closer so
Iran can’t do anything to anyone though..
Democrats are salivating for war
A regional war.
