Israel claims it killed top Hezbollah commander in Beirut | DW News

Lebanon: The Israeli army has carried out what it calls a targeted strike on a senior Hezbollah commander in the southern suburbs of Beirut. The strike killed at least one person and wounded dozens more. Israel's military says the targeted commander was responsible for Saturday's attack on the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights, which killed 12 children and teenagers. Israel blames Hezbollah – the Lebanese armed group denies responsibility.

Lebanon's Prime Minister has condemned an Israeli airstrike on Beirut as a "criminal act."

For more on this, we talk to Behnam Ben Taleblu. He is a senior fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies and joins us from Washington.

And we talk to our correspondent Rebecca Ritters in Jerusalem.
