Israel launched an airstrike on Beirut, claiming it targeted senior Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr in the southern suburb of Dahiyeh, resulting in damage to a block of flats and crowds gathering outside. Casualties are yet to be confirmed. News agencies report Shukr was the target but survived, though Israel’s Defense Forces assert he was killed in the strike. Israel’s army accuses Shukr of orchestrating a rocket attack in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights on Saturday, which killed 12 children and young people, a claim Hezbollah denies.
