Hezbollah leaders among 37 killed in Israeli strike in Lebanon
Beirut, Sep 21: Two Hezbollah leaders were among those killed in an Israeli airstrike on a Beirut suburb, Israel's military said Saturday, as Lebanon raised the death toll from the attack to 37, including women and children.
Israel and Hezbollah continued to trade fire Saturday, a day after the airstrike claimed the lives of Ibrahim Akil, who was in charge of Hezbollah's elite Radwan Force, and Ahmed Wahbi, another senior commander in the group's military wing.
Firas Abiad told reporters that the dead included seven women and three children. He said another 68 people were wounded of whom 15 remained in hospital, adding that search and rescue operations were still ongoing, with the number of casualties likely to rise.
The rare strike hit an apartment block in a densely populated south Beirut neighbourhood on Friday afternoon during rush hour. It was the deadliest strike targeting the Lebanese capital since the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war.
