Israel's military conducted a strike on Beirut targeting a militant commander allegedly responsible for a rocket attack on the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights that resulted in the deaths of 12 children and teens over the weekend. The rocket attack in the town of Majdal Shams has been attributed to the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, although Hezbollah has denied involvement in the incident.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant expressed condemnation for the attack, stating that Hezbollah had crossed a red line. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office did not immediately release a statement but shared a photo of the prime minister with his national security advisor and other officials following the strike.
