Israeli airstrikes on Beirut's southern suburbs killed senior Hezbollah commander Ibrahim Aqil and other members of the elite Radwan unit, escalating the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. Aqil, who had a $7 million bounty from the U.S. for his role in the 1983 Beirut bombings, was targeted during a meeting. The strikes resulted in at least nine deaths and 59 injuries, marking the deadliest attack on Beirut since the 2006 war. The escalation follows months of border clashes and a recent sabotage operation that killed 37 Hezbollah members. The violence has heightened fears of a broader regional conflict, with continued hostilities along the Israel-Lebanon border.
