Rescue workers in Beirut searched on Saturday for people still missing in rubble after an Israeli airstrike targeting Hezbollah commanders the previous day killed at least 37 people in a suburb of the Lebanese capital, according to authorities. Hezbollah, the Iran-backed militant group, said 16 of its members – including senior leader Ibrahim Aqil and another commander, Ahmed Wahbi – were among those killed in the strike.
The attack levelled a multi-story residential building in the crowded suburb and damaged a nursery next door, a security source said. Three children and seven women were among those killed, according to Lebanon’s health ministry. Cross-border strikes continued on Saturday. Israeli warplanes carried out the heaviest bombardment in 11 months of fighting across Lebanon’s south and Hezbollah claimed rocket attacks on military targets in Israel’s north.
