CNN
Israel killed a senior Hezbollah commander and other leaders in a strike on southern Beirut Friday. It comes after deadly pager and walkie-talkie attacks this week. Follow for live news updates.
The Israeli military said it is carrying out a new wave of strikes against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. The Israel Defense Forces did not provide details on the scale of the strikes or the exact location. Hundreds of mourners gathered outside a cemetery in Dahiya, Beirut’s southern district and a Hezbollah stronghold, for the militant group’s fighters and members for the third time this week. Yellow sachets mark families of the dead in the crowd of mourners, this time bidding farewell following Israel’s strike on southern Beirut on Friday. Zahraa was wearing a badge with a picture of her 18-year-old son, who was killed in 2008, while she consoled a friend who lost a son in Friday’s attack. In the crowd, some of those wounded from the pager and walkie-talkie blasts this week could be spotted through their injuries. A man with a bruised face and a patch covering his eye told CNN he was injured this week. He waved his bandaged hands, signaling he didn’t want to elaborate.
