6 Dead, 15 Injured in Israeli Strikes on Dahieh Amid Suspected Assassination Attempt

An Israeli airstrike hit Hezbollah’s stronghold in southern Beirut on Tuesday, according to a Lebanese security source. The Israeli military confirmed the “targeted” strike in the southern suburbs of Beirut.

The Lebanese Health Ministry reported that at least six people were killed, and 15 others were injured in the attack.

“A strike targeted two floors of a residential building in the Ghobeiri area,” said the security source, who spoke anonymously due to the sensitive nature of the information.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) stated, “The IDF conducted a targeted strike in Beirut. More details will follow.” However, they did not provide immediate additional information.

Israeli media outlets suggested that the intended target of the “assassination” was Abou Jawad Harakeh, a key commander in Hezbollah’s missile unit.

Television reports indicated that the strike hit a building located across from the al-Khansa mosque in the Ghobeiri area.
