Israel has carried out an attack in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, that targeted a senior Hezbollah commander, the Israeli military said.
A loud blast was heard and a plume of smoke could be seen rising above the southern suburbs – a stronghold of the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah – on Tuesday evening.
Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency said an Israeli air raid had targeted the area around Hezbollah’s Shura Council in the Haret Hreik neighbourhood of the capital and at least one person has been killed.
The Israeli military said it conducted “a targeted strike in Beirut on the commander responsible for the murder of the children in Majdal Shams and the killing of numerous additional Israeli civilians”.
Beirut has been bracing for a potential Israeli attack since 12 people including children were killed in a rocket attack on Majdal Shams in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights on Saturday.
Israel and the United States have blamed the Lebanese armed group, but Hezbollah has denied responsibility for the attack.
Reporting from the Haret Hreik neighbourhood, Al Jazeera’s Zeina Khodr said that sources close to Hezbollah identified the target as Muhsin Shukr and told Al Jazeera he survived the assassination attempt.
Khodr said that Tuesday’s attack appears to be the promised response by the Israeli military against Hezbollah.
Lebanon’s Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib said his government condemned the Israeli attack and planned to file a complaint to the United Nations.
He told the Reuters news agency he hoped any response by Hezbollah would not trigger an escalation.
Tuesday’s attack has been the first in the vicinity of Beirut since January, when an air raid killed top Hamas official Saleh al-Arouri. That attack was the first time Israel has hit Beirut since the 34-day war between Israel and Hezbollah in the summer of 2006.
White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre has said that the US does not believe war between Hezbollah and Israel is inevitable.
