Israel conducted a significant airstrike on Beirut's southern suburbs (Dahieh), targeting senior Hezbollah commander Ibrahim Akil. The attack resulted in at least 10 casualties, including children. Hezbollah responded with rocket salvos against Israeli military positions in the Golan and Galilee. The strike marks an escalation in the ongoing conflict, as it targeted a high-ranking official deep within Hezbollah territory. Earlier in the day, reports emerged of Israel capturing bodies of two Hezbollah fighters during a border operation. The international community, including France and the UK, responded with diplomatic efforts and travel advisories. Lebanon appealed to the UN Security Council to halt Israeli aggression. The day's events follow recent tensions over explosive devices allegedly sent to Hezbollah, which were being investigated by multiple countries.
