Hezbollah has confirmed the death of a second senior commander, Ahmed Wahbi, in an Israeli strike on Beirut. Wahbi, who oversaw the Radwan special forces during the Gaza war until early 2024, was killed alongside another commander, Ibrahim Aqil, whose death was previously announced. The Palestinian militant group Hamas condemned Aqil's killing as a "crime" and warned that Israel would "pay the price" for its actions. The strike highlights ongoing tensions in the region, with both Hezbollah and Hamas expressing strong retaliatory sentiments following the deaths of their senior leaders.
