Senior Hezbollah leader killed in Israeli bombardment, confirms Lebanon’s Hezbollah

Hezbollah, a Lebanese armed group, confirmed the death of one of its top commanders, Ibrahim Muhammad Qubaisi, after Israel targeted him in an airstrike in Beirut’s southern suburbs. Qubaisi, also known as “Hajj Abu Musa,” was responsible for a 2000 attack that killed three Israeli soldiers. The strike killed six people and injured 15, adding to the toll of 569 dead and 1,835 wounded from Israeli attacks in Lebanon since Monday. The escalating violence has forced thousands to flee southern Lebanon, with Hezbollah launching rockets into Israel, injuring civilians and soldiers. The United Nations Security Council is set to meet as tensions rise, with Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warning that Lebanon is “at the brink” and urging all parties to avoid a new conflict in the region. The situation is volatile, with fears of a wider conflict as Israel’s war in Gaza approaches its one-year mark. The ongoing violence has created a tense atmosphere in Lebanon, with many people worried about the escalating situation.
