Israel said it killed senior Hezbollah commander Ali Tabtai in an air strike on Beirut’s southern suburb, Dahieh, marking its first strike on the city in months. The attack hit a residential building, killing at least five people and injuring 28, according to Lebanon’s health ministry. Hezbollah confirmed a senior commander was targeted but did not name him. The strike comes despite a US- and France-backed ceasefire that began last November. Israel says Hezbollah is rebuilding its weapons network and producing explosive drones. Lebanon’s president accused Israel of violating agreements and urged global pressure to stop the attacks. (PC: AFP via Getty Images)
