Hezbollah has confirmed the death of one of its top commanders, Ibrahim Kobeisi. He was killed in an Israeli airstrike in a southern suburb of Beirut.
The strike hit three floors of a six-story building. It was Israel's third strike on Beirut in less than a week.
In a statement, the Iranian-backed group announced the death of "commander Ibrahim Mohammed Kobeisi," who was "martyred on the road to Jerusalem," the phrase Hezbollah uses to refer to fighters killed by Israeli forces.
Israel said Kobeisi was a top Hezbollah commander from the militant group's rocket and missile unit.
