Breaking News: Death Toll Rises as Deadly Strike Hits Southern Lebanon, Kills Hezbollah Commander
A devastating strike yesterday evening has sent shockwaves across the nation, following the killing of two key Hezbollah commanders in southern Lebanon. The blast, claimed by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), hit a Hezbollah compound in Kafr Kela, sending plumes of smoke skyward and killing at least 7 civilians, many of whom were family members of the Hezbollah fighters, according to Lebanese officials and eyewitnesses.
The loss of life in the city of Baalbek means the death toll has mounted to 14, officials confirmed, while many are still unaccounted for. The situation remains deeply concerning, as the fate of the trapped civilians on the ground is still pending.
The blast, confirmed by Hezbollah leaders, rocked the small city, leveling buildings and triggering widespread debris. Local reports indicate countless homes were left destroyed and hundreds more severely damaged by the impact of the nearby explosion.
A Hezbollah defense official told our sources:
"This attack has sent many innocent civilians into a very dark night, and even as we struggle to deal with the humanitarian crisis facing us, our resolve stays firm to ensure the ongoing fight against foreign occupation reaches its end."
In neighboring Syria, Hezbollah has accused Israel of a "military aggression," with fighters mobilizing quickly to strike back against alleged Israeli posts.
Meanwhile, international support has begun to pour into Lebanon, as regional counterparts, including Jordan, as well as other international states, pledge immediate aid with medical teams rushing to bolster the local emergency response forces.
As an ongoing investigative effort continues to unravel key details, international authorities at the United Nations Security Council have issued an urgent expression of deep concern over further escalation.
