Israel strikes Hezbollah HQ in Beirut, targeting a key intelligence center amid escalating military operations in the region.
Israel's military said Thursday it had hit Hezbollah's intelligence headquarters in the Lebanese capital Beirut, as troops battled militants near the border and warplanes bombarded their strongholds around the country.
On the Gaza front, the Israeli military said a strike three months ago killed three senior Hamas leaders, including Rawhi Mushtaha, the head of the militant movement's government in the war-ravaged Palestinian territory. US news site Axios cited three unidentified Israeli officials naming the target of the attack as Hashem Safieddine, a potential successor as Hezbollah chief to Hassan Nasrallah who was killed a week ago. The Israeli military did not confirm the report when questioned by AFP.
The military said an overnight strike killed 15 Hezbollah fighters in Bint Jbeil, an area heavily damaged during Israel's last war with the militant group in 2006. Hassan Ammar, 82, who had been staying in the high-rise building whose walls were partly blown out by the strike after he fled south Lebanon, said:"We are peaceful civilians in our homes."Lebanese Health Minister Firass Abiad said more than 40 paramedics and firefighters have been killed by Israeli fire in three days.The latest strikes came after Hezbollah-backer Iran launched its second direct missile attack on Israel.
Israel's ground operations and strikes follow the killing in a massive bombing in south Beirut of Nasrallah and other commanders.
