Israel carried out a rare airstrike on Beirut, killing a top Hezbollah commander, Fouad Shukur, accused of planning the deadly Golan Heights rocket attack that killed 12. The strike also killed a woman and two children, wounding dozens. Shukur, a US-designated terrorist, was blamed for the 1983 Marine bombing and other attacks on Israeli civilians. Hezbollah hasn't confirmed his death. The escalation in hostilities with the Lebanese militant group marks a significant development in the region's tense conflict. The Israeli official spoke anonymously, citing unauthorized disclosure of details.
