In a significant escalation of tensions, Israeli forces launched a massive airstrike in central Beirut, targeting a high-profile member of Hezbollah. Reports from Israeli media suggest that the strike was aimed at Talal Hamiyah, a senior Hezbollah commander and head of the group's External Security Office, known as Unit 910. The attack leveled an eight-story building in the Basta neighborhood of Beirut, with speculation that it might have been an assassination attempt. The strike targeted an underground bunker, and Hamiyah was promoted to Hezbollah’s Jihad Council following the elimination of Ibrahim Aqil in September. This operation follows a pattern of targeted strikes against Hezbollah leadership, reminiscent of previous actions against figures like Hassan Nasrallah.
