Israel’s military claimed it killed Ibrahim Aqil, a senior Hezbollah commander, and “about 10” others in a dramatic airstrike that has raised fears of all-out war.

A key Hezbollah commander and his chain of command were killed in an Israeli strike in Beirut on Friday, according to the Israel Defense Forces, as tensions continue to rise along the Israel-Lebanon border.

In a statement this morning, the IDF says its air force hit several Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon overnight. The targets included military buildings and a weapons store, it says. More than 40 rockets were fired from Lebanon into Israel on Wednesday, according to Israeli media.
