Beirut: Israel has killed 10 Hezbollah fighters including a senior Hezbollah commander in an airstrike in Lebanon. Lebanon’s interior minister has put a blockade in the area where the building was attacked. This is so that rescue efforts for the injured and the dead can be made easier. According to Israeli Defense Force spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, Hezbollah’s top commander Ibrahim Aqeel was with his comrades in the underground of residential buildings. Aqeel had a bounty of Rs 58 crores on his head. He was America’s most wanted. According to the Israeli Defense Force, the operation was carried out through F-35 fighter jets. Missiles were fired through F-35. According to Al Jazeera Network’s report, four missiles were fired. The attack happened when a meeting of Hezbollah’s dangerous Radwan Force was taking place. The meeting was going on two floors below the ground. But Israel succeeded in eliminating them there too.
14 people died in the attack
According to media reports, more than 20 people attended the meeting, some of whom survived after being badly injured. According to Lebanon’s MTC News Network, the families of three senior leaders of the Radwan Force were informed that more bodies are likely to be found. According to a Lebanese figure, at least 14 people were killed in the attack. 66 people were badly injured, 9 of them seriously.
An earthquake occurred when the missile fell
The surrounding areas have also been damaged due to the attack. Dozens of nearby cars were damaged. Parked vehicles were overturned and their windows were broken. According to the Al-Mayadeen network associated with Hezbollah, shops have been destroyed in the attack. According to a New York Times report, an eyewitness said that he did not hear the sound of any missile before the attack. He came to know about the attack only when the missile exploded. He said that it was like an earthquake and the building shook.
He said that the building where the bomb fell was completely destroyed. This is the third attack by the Israeli Air Force after the attack on October 7. In the first attack, senior Hamas leader Saleh al-Arouri was killed. In the second attack, Fuad Shukar, who was called the Chief of Staff of Hezbollah in Israel, died.
