The Israeli military announced on Thursday that it had carried out what it described as a precise strike in Beirut, while Israeli media reported that the operation had targeted a commander in Hezbollah’s missile units.

Israeli military sources cited by local media said the chances that the operation had failed were increasing. Lebanese media reported that the strike hit an apartment in the Choueifat area on the outskirts of Beirut’s southern suburbs.

In southern Lebanon, Israeli airstrikes continued across villages in the districts of Tyre, Nabatieh, Bint Jbeil, and Saida, killing 24 people, including women and children, according to local reports.

The Lebanese army said one of its soldiers was killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting the Zefta–Deir al-Zahrani road.
