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 45, Lebanon's health minister says. The strike hit Beirut on Saturday, and the health ministry initially put the number of those killed at 14. On Sunday, it said 45 people had been killed in the blast. Health minister Firass Abiad had earlier told reporters 68 people were also wounded of whom 15 remain in hospital.
In July, an Israeli airstrike killed Fuad Shukr , the group's top military commander. 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".
