Beirut: Israel struck Beirut's southern suburbs Wednesday for the first time since a ceasefire between Israel and the Hezbollah militant group was announced on April 17.
Fighting has continued since then in southern Lebanon.
The last attacks in Beirut were before that, on April 8, when a series of massive Israeli strikes, including in central Beirut, killed more than 350 people.
A statement released by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said Wednesday's strike, which came without warning, targeted a commander in Hezbollah's Radwan Force. Hezbollah did not immediately comment.
