An Israeli military airstrike on September 20, 2024, in Beirut's southern suburbs killed eight people, including Ibrahim Aqil, a senior Hezbollah commander leading the elite Radwan unit. The strike, which targeted Hezbollah’s stronghold, also injured 50 people. The Israeli Defense Forces confirmed that Aqil and other top Hezbollah operatives were planning cross-border attacks against Israel. This marks the third airstrike in the area since the start of the Israel-Hamas war in 2023. Hezbollah responded by firing over 150 rockets at northern Israel, escalating tensions along the Lebanon-Israel border.
