Israel’s military has conducted an airstrike on Beirut’s southern suburbs, its first operation in the Lebanese capital since a ceasefire was agreed last month. The strike reportedly targeted the commander of Hezbollah's Radwan force.
Details of the Attack
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Israel Katz stated that the commander's operatives were responsible for firing at Israeli communities and harming IDF soldiers. This action occurs despite the ceasefire, with hostilities persisting in southern Lebanon and Israeli strikes continuing in the region.
US Military Action
Separately, US military forces fired several rounds at an unladen Iranian-flagged oil tanker on Wednesday. The US Central Command reported that the vessel had attempted to sail towards an Iranian port, violating an existing blockade.
These developments mark a significant escalation in regional tensions, with both Israel and the US taking military action despite ongoing ceasefire agreements.
