An Israeli airstrike in Beirut has reportedly killed eight people, including Hezbollah's Radwan unit commander Ibrahim Aqil. The Israeli military confirmed the "targeted strike," marking the third attack in southern Beirut since the recent escalation in violence. While Hezbollah has not officially confirmed Aqil's death, sources indicate he was a key figure linked to past attacks on U.S. interests. The strike follows intensified clashes along the Israel-Lebanon border amid shifting military objectives, raising concerns of a wider regional conflict as international mediators call for restraint from all sides.
