Israel has confirmed launching an air strike on a Hezbollah commander in Beirut, escalating tensions with the militant group. The targeted commander, Fuad Shukr, was blamed for a recent rocket attack in the Golan Heights that killed 12 children.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu vowed retaliation, while US officials emphasized the need for a diplomatic solution to avoid war. In response to the heightened tensions, many nations have advised their citizens to leave Lebanon, and airlines have suspended flights to Beirut.
The strike comes amid fears of a larger-scale conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, similar to the 2006 war. The Golan Heights, a strategic territory occupied by Israel, is a key factor in the escalating tensions.
Hezbollah, backed by Iran, claims the Shebaa Farms area in the Golan, raising concerns about the potential involvement of outside players like Iran in the conflict. Efforts are currently underway to de-escalate the situation and prevent further violence.
