Things between Israel and Lebanon just escalated in a major way on Sunday, as the Israeli military launched a major attack on the capital of Beirut, in what later announced as another targeted strikes on top Hezbollah leadership.
The Israeli military (IDF) announced that it "eliminated" Hezbollah’s chief of staff Haytham Ali Tabatabai, after Lebanon's official National News Agency (NNA) reported that two missiles were fired at an apartment building on al-Arid Street in Haret Hreik neighbourhood of Dahiyeh.
A large plume of smoke could be seen rising above the area, said to be a Hezbollah stronghold of southern Beirut, and extensive damage to cars and surround buildings resulted.
At least five people were killed, and another 28 were wounded in the assault which came without warning, and has been strongly condemned by both Hezbollah and the Lebanese government.
An official statement from Hezbollah didn't immediately confirm the killing of Tabatabai but said it "breaches a new red line" - following recent weeks of a series of escalating Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon, despite the ceasefire having long officially been in place.
