In the latest flagrant violation of a shaky ceasefire agreement with Lebanon, the Israeli military has carried out a strike against a residential building in a southern suburb of the capital Beirut, killing at least four people and wounding seven others.
The local al-Mayadeen television news channel said the airstrike targeted the densely-populated Sfeir area at around 3:30 a.m. local time (0030 GMT) on Tuesday, destroying a building and damaging nearby structures.
The report added that the Lebanese army had arrived at the scene and set up a security cordon in the vicinity of the blast.
Civil defense teams and ambulances also rushed to the spot, rescuing people from under the rubble and transporting the injured to hospitals.
The Israeli military later announced in a statement that it targeted a member of the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement “who had recently directed Hamas operatives and assisted them.”
A joint statement released by the Israeli military and the regime’s so-called internal security service, Shin Bet, alleged that the aerial attack had targeted a leading Hezbollah figure in Beirut's southern suburbs.
Informed sources, however, dismissed the claim, and told al-Mayadeen TV that an ordinary member of Hezbollah had been martyred in the strike.
The Israeli airstrike marks the second such attack on a southern suburb of the Lebanese capital.
