Israel confirmed it carried out a “targeted” attack on a Hezbollah leader Tuesday in a Beirut suburb that is known as a stronghold of the militant group.
Israeli officials said the leader was responsible for Saturday’s rocket attack on the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights that killed 12 children. Hezbollah has denied responsibility for the attack.
The fate of the leader targeted in this attack is unclear, Reuters reported.
