The Israel Defense Forces said Friday that it killed Hezbollahs top military commander and at least 10 other senior commanders in a rare airstrike targeting the terror groups stronghold in Beirut, as the sides appeared closer than ever to entering a full-fledged war.
The IDF said the most prominent target of its airstrike, Ibrahim Aqil, was the head of Hezbollahs military operations, the acting commander of the terror groups elite Radwan Force, and was overseeing a planned operation to invade the Galilee.
IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said that at least 10 members of Hezbollahs Radwan Force and operations array were killed in the strike, which Lebanese media reported was carried out by an Israeli F-35 fighter jet using two missiles.
Aqil had also been wanted by the United States for his role in the 1983 bombings of the American Embassy in Lebanon and the US Marines barracks in Beirut.

Israel has delivered massive destruction to Hezbollah these past few months, including taking out Iranians. I don't know how much capability and personnel Hezbollah has or if they can survive what's been done but if they can, I would guess this war is going to get a lot worse.
