The Israeli airstrike hit the Lebanese capital of Beirut on Friday, killing a top Hezbollah commander and other senior figures in the Lebanese militant group.
The death toll from an Israeli airstrike on a Beirut suburb that killed a top Hezbollah commander and other senior figures has risen to 37, Lebanon's health minister says. Health minister Firass Abiad told reporters 68 people were also wounded of whom 15 remain in hospital. Three children were among those killed in the deadliest Israeli airstrike on Beirut since the summer 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war.
The Israeli military reported warning sirens in northern Israel following the recent Beirut strike, and Israeli media reported heavy rocket fire there. Hezbollah said it twice fired Katyusha rockets at what it described as the main intelligence headquarters in northern Israel "which is responsible for assassinations".
