An Israeli airstrike targeted senior Hezbollah commander Ali Karaki in Beirut's southern suburbs on Monday evening. Karaki, who is the head of Hezbollah's southern command and the third-highest official in the organization, was reportedly in the parking of his building during the strike. He was also a member of Hezbollah’s Jihad Council. The attack, involving six missiles, follows the recent deaths of other top Hezbollah leaders, including Ibrahim Aqil. This was the fourth Israeli attack on Beirut. The fate of Ali Karaki remains unclear, with conflicting reports about whether he was killed in the strike.
