Israeli army: Hezbollah air commander targeted in Beirut strike

Israel's Army Radio is reporting that Hezbollah's air unit commander was the target of an air strike in Beirut.

Reuters previously reported, citing a security source, that a senior Hezbollah commander was the target of an Israeli strike on Beirut's southern suburb of Dahiyeh, where the armed movement is known to have a presence.

Shortly after a blast was heard and smoke seen emanating from Beirut's southern suburbs, the Israeli military issued a statement saying they had conducted  'precise strikes' on Beirut.
