The IDF launched a targeted strike in Beirut today (Tuesday) against the head of Hezbollah's missile array, according to Kann 11 News reporter Rroi Kais. Reuters reports that at least one person was killed in the strike, though it is not clear if the target himself was killed.
Israel also claims to have assassinated the last senior member of Hezbollah. In a statement published by Hezbollah this evening, the terror organization claims that the commander of the organization's southern front, Ali Karaki, is alive and has been moved to a safe place. "Regarding the claims of the Zionist enemy about the murder of Brother Mujahid Ali Karaki, we confirm that the dear Mujahid brother, Commander Hajj Ali Karaki, is in good condition and is, by the will of Almighty God, safe and sound and has moved to a safe place," Hezbollah said in a statement.
Karaki is the last surviving senior Hezbollah official (apart from Nasrallah) and the commander of the Badr unit (Litani-Sidon sector) which is a lower rank than him. In the afternoon, the IDF announced that it had attacked in the heart of Beirut. In unofficial briefings, it was said that the target of the attack was a senior Hezbollah official, Ali Karaki, who is responsible for the southern Lebanese front facing Israel.
