Israel hit a Beirut suburb with an airstrike Friday, not long after Hezbollah pounded northern Israel with 140 rockets following a vow by the militant group's leader Hassan Nasrallah to retaliate against Israel for a mass bombing attack, the Israeli military and the militant group said.
The Israeli military said it had carried out a "targeted strike" in Beirut. An Israeli official confirmed that their military targeted Ibrahim Akil, a senior Hezbollah military official, in the airstrike.
It wasn't immediately clear if Akil was killed in the Israeli strike on Beirut's southern suburbs that killed at least 8 people and wounded 59 others, according to Lebanese health officials. The Israeli official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was discussing a behind the scenes security matter.
