The Israel Defense Forces announced that they carried out a strike in Beirut on Tuesday targeting the commander accused of orchestrating the recent attack on a children's soccer field. The IDF stated that the strike was aimed at the commander responsible for the murder of children in Majdal Shams and the killing of Israeli civilians.
Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant expressed that Hezbollah had crossed a red line with their actions. The details of the strike were not immediately clear, but it coincided with a loud blast and a plume of smoke rising above the southern suburbs of Beirut.
Reports indicate that the targeted commander was Fuad Shukr, also known as Hajj Mohsin, a senior adviser to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. The IDF emphasized that there are no changes in the Home Front Command defensive guidelines at the moment, but updates will be provided if any changes are made.
