ai generated text

An Israeli airstrike on a Hezbollah stronghold in southern Beirut resulted in the deaths of at least 31 people, including three children and seven women. The strike targeted commanders of Hezbollah's elite Radwan Force, with Israel claiming a second senior commander was among the 16 fighters killed. The Lebanese health ministry confirmed the death toll, initially believed to be lower at 14, including a senior Hezbollah leader.

    Israeli Government
    1. I worry for the 100 hostages. They're still stuck in Gaza. It's almost like we've forgotten about them.
  2. IL
    Israel Defense Forces
    1. The IDF (Israel Defense Forces) conducted a targeted strike in Beirut. At this moment, there are no changes in the home front command defensive guidelines.
    2. The army is currently striking Hezbollah targets in Lebanon to degrade Hezbollah's terrorist capabilities and infrastructure.

    Hezbollah
    1. The state of Israel submitted today its official challenge to the ICC's jurisdiction, as well as the legality of the prosecutor's requests for arrest warrants against Israel's prime minister and minister of defence.
    2. The Israeli air strike killed Radwan Force commander Ibrahim Aqil, its armed force's second-in-command after Fuad Shukr.
    3. In the strongest terms the Israeli madness and arrogance that crossed all limits by targeting residential areas in the southern suburbs of Beirut… We reaffirm once again that such terrorist crimes will not undermine the determination and faith of the Lebanese. Our sincere condolences to the families of the martyrs and our wishes for a speedy recovery for the wounded.

    Anthony Albanese
    Australian Government
    1. It is a fact that this situation might become more difficult. We have been saying this for many months now, that people should take the opportunity to get on a commercial plane and come back to Australia.
  5. IL
    Yoav Galant
    Israeli Defense Ministry
    1. In the new phase of the war, there are significant opportunities, but also significant risks.
    2. We will continue pursuing our enemies in order to defend our citizens, even in Dahiya, in Beirut.
  6. LB
    Hassan Nasrallah
    Hezbollah
    1. Israel will face tough retribution and just punishment, where it expects it and where it does not.
    2. Whatever the sacrifices, whatever the consequences, whatever may happen, we will not cease our support for Gaza, and Lebanon's front with Israel will not stop until the aggression in Gaza is over.
    3. I want to reassure those who ask us: we are very prepared. What has happened will not affect our power and preparation. It will only increase our determination.
  7. US
    Robert Wood
    US Embassy
    1. The Security Council cannot ignore the origins of this conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.
  8. US
    John Kirby
    White House National Security Council
    1. I am certainly not aware of any pre-notification of those strikes.
    2. War is not inevitable up there at the Blue Line, and we're going to continue to do everything we can to try to prevent it.
    3. We'll let the IDF speak for their operations.
