Death toll rises to 37 in Israeli strike that killed Hezbollah commanders in Beirut

The death toll from the Israeli airstrike that killed at least two Hezbollah commanders and other members of the group in a Beirut suburb on Friday has risen to 37 people, Lebanon’s Health Ministry said Saturday, and crews continued to search through rubble. Health Minister Firass Abiad said children were among the dead. The Israeli military and Hezbollah confirmed on Friday the deaths of senior members Ibrahim Aqil and Ahmed Wehbe. The strike was part of a days-long Israeli assault on Hezbollah amid fears of all-out war, with both sides exchanging fire across the border Saturday, and the U.S. State Department urging Americans to depart Lebanon through commercial options while they’re still available.
