BEIRUT/JERUSALEM (Worthy News) – An Israeli airstrike targeted a Hezbollah commander in the southern suburbs of Lebanon’s capital, Beirut, on Tuesday, reportedly killing six people, while Israel faced more than 100 rockets fired from Lebanon, several sources said.
Israel’s military likely struck “Hezbollah’s rocket chief Amr Abdallah Dalsh,” a key commander of the Iran-backed Islamic group, Worthy News learned, citing Israeli sources.
Lebanese media claimed he survived, but the Israel Defense Forces did not yet comment on the strike in Lebanon’s capital, Beirut.
Tuesday’s clashes came as Israel warned that attacks against the Iran-backed Islamic group would be accelerated.
Security sources confirmed the Israeli strike in Lebanon after Israel’s military chief said the Iran-backed group would be given “no breathing space.”
“The situation requires continued, intense action in all arenas,” stressed Military Chief of General Staff Herzi Halevi after holding a security assessment.
Israel struck the Hezbollah-controlled area of the Lebanese capital for a second consecutive day after mounting a new wave of airstrikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon.
Yet it did not prevent Hezbollah from hitting Israel again Tuesday. Some 105 rockets were fired at Israeli territory from Lebanon “within the past hour and a half,” Israeli sources said Tuesday afternoon local time.
At least one suspected Hezbollah rocket struck an open area in the coastal city of Haifa’s bayside suburbs in northern Israel; police told local media.
It comes amid fears that nearly a year of conflict could explode into an all-out war and destabilize the oil-producing Middle East, prompting the United States to send additional forces to the region.
