US EditionMajor Israel Strike in Lebanon Sparks Ceasefire Dispute
The strike killed five civilians and wounded 28, targeting Hezbollah's chief of staff to prevent rearmament a year after the ceasefire, Israel said.
- On Sunday, an Israeli airstrike in Beirut's southern suburbs killed Haytham Ali Tabatabai, a senior Hezbollah commander, while Lebanon's Ministry of Public Health reported five dead and 28 wounded.
- Israel and US statements say they aim to prevent Hezbollah from rebuilding, and Israel says it targeted the group to block rearmament while Lebanon insists it remains committed to disarming non-state actors.
- The strike struck a residential block in Haret Hreik, hitting the third and fourth floors of a nine-storey building in the Dahieh Hezbollah stronghold, causing significant damage.
- Lebanon's president Joseph Aoun condemned the strike and urged the international community to `intervene with strength and seriousness to stop the attacks on Lebanon and its people`, while Lebanese officials accused Israel of violating the truce through continued attacks and by maintaining positions inside Lebanese territory.
- It was the first strike on Beirut since June and the fifth since the November 2024 ceasefire, and Israeli air strikes across southern Lebanon have intensified in recent weeks, raising escalation risks.
