(BBC News) The Israeli military has issued an update on yesterday’s strike in southern Lebanon, saying it has killed a dozen senior commanders in Hezbollah’s elite Radwan force.
In what it describes as a “precise strike”, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) says it killed Ibrahim Aqil – head of operations and Radwan commander – and 15 other Hezbollah members.
The group had been meeting in Dahieh, a known stronghold of the Iran-backed group in the Lebanese capital, the IDF adds.
In a separate post on X, an IDF spokesperson adds that 12 of those killed in the Beirut strike were senior members of the Iran-backed group at the “top of Hezbollah’s leadership”.
