Israeli airstrike on Beirut kills top Hezbollah leader

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. It offered no further immediate details, but explosions could be heard coming from the city's southern suburbs. Beirut-based Al-Mayadeen TV reported that a drone fired several missiles on the heavily-populated area known as Dahiyeh.

Lebanese health authorities reported that at least eight people were killed and nearly 60 others wounded in the attack. Israel says the strike killed senior Hezbollah official Ibrahim Akil. Hezbollah has not confirmed the reports.
