The Israeli military has carried out airstrikes against the Lebanese capital Beirut. On Friday, the military said it had staged a “targeted strike” against the city.
At least five children are among those killed in the attack.
Lebanon’s al-Mayadeen television network said a drone had fired several missiles against Beirut’s heavily-populated Dahiyeh suburb.
According to Lebanon’s official National News (NNA), “five children were martyred in the hostile airstrike.”
The agency added that an F35 jet targeted residential areas with two strikes.
Media outlets cited sources as saying that the attack targeted Ibrahim Aqil, a senior commander of Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement.
Aqil is a member of Hezbollah’s Jihad Council, which is responsible for directing the group’s military and security activities.
He has replaced Fuad Shukr, who was assassinated in an Israeli targeted killing attack against Beirut on July 30.
