Israel claims to have killed a Hezbollah leader in Beirut, whom it holds responsible for a fatal attack.

The Israeli military said the strike targeted Fuad Shukr, a senior Hezbollah commander who was allegedly behind a deadly rocket attack in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights that killed 12 children and teens on Saturday .

The strike, which was carried out by an Israeli drone that launched three rockets, hit a heavily populated civilian area 5. Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported that the attack killed one woman and seriously injured several other people. Israel carried out a rare strike on a building in the southern suburbs of Beirut on Tuesday, killing at least one person and injuring several others.

Although Hezbollah has denied any role in the strike on the Golan Heights, Israel nevertheless deems the terrorist organization responsible.

.. Hassan Nasrallah, the head of Hezbollah, declared that the “assassination attempt” had failed and that the Islamic Resistance will publish an official statement.
The attack occurs in the midst of rising hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, with indications that war may break out between the two groups.

.. Israel has declared that the strike on Beirut might not be the last, and that it will respond harshly.

Although the US and other international players have been trying to moderate the situation, whether or not conflict in the area is inevitable will depend on how Israel and Hezbollah react going forward.
