Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has commented on the killing of Ahmad Balut, commander of Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Unit, in a strike on Beirut’s southern suburbs yesterday, Al Jazeera reports citing The Times of Israel.

“He apparently read in the press that he had immunity in Beirut. So he read — and that will no longer happen,” Netanyahu said in a video statement.

“He believed he could continue directing attacks against our forces and our communities from his hidden terrorist headquarters in Beirut.”
