Israel strikes southern Lebanon, killing Hezbollah commander

Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon have resulted in at least 11 deaths and 19 injuries, marking the deadliest escalation since a ceasefire agreement was reached in June. The strikes, which targeted areas including Ansar and Deir al-Zahrani, reportedly killed several women and children.

The Israeli military confirmed the targeted killing of Abu Hassan Alaa, a senior commander of Hezbollah’s Badr unit, during the operations. Israel stated the strikes were a response to Hezbollah using explosive drones within a designated security zone, an action that seriously injured three Israeli soldiers.

Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam condemned the attacks, describing them as an ‘extremely serious matter’ that undermines efforts to stabilize the region. The Arab League also issued a statement warning that the escalation threatens to derail conflict resolution efforts and violates Lebanese sovereignty.
