"The IDF is currently carrying out precise strikes in Beirut," the IDF wrote on Telegram.
The target of an Israeli strike on Beirut was the commander of the aviation unit of the Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah, Abu Saleh, the Israeli news website Ynet reported on Thursday.
The Israeli strikes hit a house in Beirut's southern suburbs, Lebanese media reported, adding that emergency services were responding to the attack.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) later confirmed the elimination of the commander.
"Today, on September 26, 2024, on precise intelligence instructions, air forces attacked Beirut and eliminated ... the commander of the Hezbollah terrorist organization's aviation unit," the IDF said in a statement.
An Israeli strike on a residential building in the southern suburbs of Beirut killed more than 50 people last week, including Hezbollah special operations commander Ibrahim Aqil. On Wednesday, the movement confirmed the death of another senior commander, Ibrahim Muhammad Qubaisi, in an Israeli missile attack.
