The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced that they carried out a targeted strike in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon. This information was shared in Hebrew via the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter. Reports from Israeli newspaper Haaretz and news agency Reuters indicated that the strike specifically targeted Ali Karaki, who serves as Hezbollah's commander of the southern front.

This action follows a series of strikes across various regions in Lebanon that resulted in over 270 fatalities. These strikes have prompted Lebanese officials to declare it the deadliest day since the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in 2006. The escalation of violence in the region raises concerns about the ongoing hostilities and their implications for regional stability.

The IDF's actions are part of a broader context of escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, as both sides engage in military operations amid heightened conflict.
