Israel's Netanyahu claims targeting Hezbollah commander in Beirut strikes

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claims that the country has targeted a Hezbollah commander in strikes on the Lebanese capital, Beirut.

In a post on X, Netanyahu writes, “I instructed, together with Defence Minister Israel Katz, to strike now in Beirut the commander of the Radwan Force in the terrorist organisation Hezbollah in order to neutralise him.”

Netanyahu claims that the Radwan force has attacked Israeli settlements and military personnel.

“No terrorist has immunity — Israel’s long arm will reach every enemy and murderer,” he adds.
