2. VARIOUS OF EMERGENCY TEAMS WORKING AT TARGETED BUILDING BEIRUT, LEBANON - NOV. 23: The Israeli army claimed to have targeted Hezbollah’s chief of staff Ali Tabatabai in the Lebanese capital Beirut on Sunday, despite a ceasefire agreement in place since November 2024.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said that the attack targeted Tabatabai in the heart of Beirut, accusing him of leading “the buildup and armament” of Hezbollah.

Netanyahu said he ordered the strike on the Hezbollah leader on the recommendation of Defense Minister Israel Katz and Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir.

Lebanon’s official National News Agency earlier reported that an Israeli aircraft had bombed a southern suburb of Beirut, causing injuries and significant material damage.

Israeli Army Radio also said that Tabatabai was the target of the Israeli strike in Beirut.

Hezbollah has yet to comment on the strike.

Tensions in southern Lebanon have been mounting for weeks, with the Israeli military intensifying near-daily air raids inside Lebanese territory, claiming to target Hezbollah members and infrastructure.

According to the Lebanese Health Ministry, at least 331 people have been killed and 945 injured by Israeli fire since the ceasefire took effect on Nov. 27, 2024. The UN peacekeeping mission (UNIFIL) also reported more than 10,000 Israeli air and ground violations.

Under the ceasefire, the Israeli army was supposed to withdraw from southern Lebanon this January, but instead only partially pulled out and continues to maintain a military presence at five border outposts.
