Israel says it killed senior Hezbollah figures in strike on Beirut | BBC News

Twelve people have been killed and dozens injured after Israel's military said it carried out a "targeted strike" on the Lebanese capital Beirut.

The IDF said it killed Hezbollah's operations commander Ibrahim Aqil in the attack, alongside other senior members of the group's Radwan unit.

It is Israel's third strike on Beirut this year.

Cross-border exchanges escalated after dozens were killed in a series of exploding device attacks on Hezbollah members, which were widely blamed on Israel.

إن أولئك الذين يشاركون في الإرهاب لا يمكنهم أن يتوقعوا أن يحظوا بالحماية من الانتقام من قبل نفس الأشخاص الذين حاولوا قتلهم. لقد كان هذا عملاً حربياً ذكياً للغاية ضد الإرهابيين. إذا كنت تريد السلام، فعليك رفض الإرهاب. كل الإرهابيين جبناء، فعليك أن تنبذهم. توقف عن مساعدتهم. توقف عن دعمهم بأي شكل من الأشكال؛ لقد باعوا أرواحهم للشيطان. (إذا كنت تؤمن بالله، فأنت مطالب بالتخلي عن الشيطان، أليس كذلك؟
