Some 31 people, including three children, were killed in a strike on a densely populated neighbourhood in southern Beirut. Meanwhile, 13 people were killed in strikes on schools in Gaza City, according to a local report.
At least 44 people have been killed in Israeli strikes on Lebanon and Gaza in the last 24 hours. A strike on the Lebanese capital Beirut killed at least 31 people including three children and seven women, the country's health minister Firas Abiad said. Fifteen of the 68 wounded in the attack remain in hospital.
Wahbi oversaw the military operations of the Radwan special forces - a commando unit that seeks to infiltrate and carry out attacks in Israel - until early 2024. Aqil was also a top commander for the Iran-backed group. The Palestinian militant group Hamas has described the killing of Aqil as a 'crime' and a 'folly', adding Israel will 'pay the price'.
