Israel Carries Out “Targeted” Strike In Lebanon, Beirut (Photos)

The city has been on edge for days ahead of an anticipated Israeli attack in retaliation for a strike on Golan Heights that killed a dozen youngsters.
The Israeli military said it carried out a targeted strike in Beirut on Tuesday against the Hezbollah commander it said was responsible for a strike in the Golan Heights that killed 12 children and teenagers at the weekend.

A loud blast was heard and a plume of smoke could be seen rising above the southern suburbs – a stronghold of Lebanese armed group Hezbollah – at around 7:40 p.m. (1640 GMT), a Reuters witness said.

Initial report- the IDF carried out a targeted strike in Beirut, on the commander responsible for the murder of the children in Majdal Shams and the killing of numerous additional Israeli civilians.

It said it had issued no new instructions for civil defence in Israel following the strike.
A senior Lebanese security source said the commander’s fate remained unclear.

Lebanon’s state-run national news agency said an Israeli strike had targeted the area around Hezbollah’s Shura Council in the Haret Hreik neighbourhood of the capital.
