Israeli airpower struck the densely populated Ghobeiry district in Beirut's southern suburbs on Wednesday evening. According to the AFP agency, the strike killed the commander of the elite Radwan unit operating within the militant movement Hezbollah. Israel attacked the Lebanese capital without prior warning for the first time since the start of the ceasefire between the countries, which began at midnight between April 16 and 17. hnonline.sk ↗

On Friday, the Israeli army called on residents of nine villages in southern Lebanon to evacuate immediately in order to carry out further military operations against Hezbollah. In its statement, it accused the militant movement of violating the ceasefire agreement. The Israeli army also later reported that on Saturday morning, a drone loaded with explosives launched by Hezbollah was found on Israeli territory near the border with Lebanon. The attack represents a significant escalatory step in the region's rising tensions, coming at a time when talks were supposed to be held on stabilizing the situation. idnes.cz ↗
