BEIRUT, Lebanon — An Israeli airstrike on a Beirut apartment block killed two senior Hezbollah leaders and about a dozen other members of the militant group, Israel's military said Saturday as Lebanon raised the attack's death toll to 37, including women and children.
The Israeli army confirmed that about 90 rockets were fired Saturday on northern Israel, while Israeli air attacks and artillery units targeted a number of sites, including rocket launchers in Lebanon that it said were poised to attack. White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan called Akil's death “a good outcome” and said he had “American blood on his hands” for the embassy attack.
Hezbollah announced overnight that 15 of its operatives had been killed by Israeli forces, but it didn't how or where they died. Meanwhile, the Israeli army spokesperson, Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani, said Saturday 16 Hezbollah fighters were killed in Friday's strike.Lebanese troops cordoned off the area around the destroyed building as Lebanese Red Cross members stood nearby to take any bodies recovered from the rubble.
The militant group said its latest wave of rocket salvos was a response to Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon. However, it came days after mass explosions of Hezbollah pagers and walkie-talkies killed at least 37 people, including two children, and wounded roughly 3,000 others.
