The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said a senior Hezbollah commander was killed in a strike in Beirut on Wednesday.

The military said it struck and killed Hezbollah’s Redwan Force commander Ahmed Ali Balout “in a precise strike” in the southern suburbs of Beirut.

A residential apartment in the southern suburbs of Beirut was targeted with three missiles, Lebanon’s National New Agency (NNA) reported on Wednesday. The strike on Beirut marked the first in the Lebanese capital since a ceasefire in the country took effect.

Hezbollah has yet to confirm the alleged killing.
