Israel Hits Hezbollah Intelligence Center, 3 Senior Leaders Confirmed Dead
Israel’s air force launched targeted strikes on Hezbollah’s intelligence headquarters in Beirut on Sunday, according to a statement from the Israeli military. The attack, which also hit an underground weapons production facility, reportedly resulted in the deaths of three senior Hezbollah commanders.
Among those killed were Alhaj Abbas Salameh, a top official in Hezbollah’s southern command, Radja Abbas Awache, a communications expert, and Ahmad Ali Hussein, a key figure responsible for the group’s strategic weapons development. The exact circumstances of their deaths were unclear, as it was not confirmed whether they were killed in the strike on the headquarters or in separate military actions.

Earlier, the Israeli military reported that it had destroyed tunnel shafts and underground infrastructure in southern Lebanon. On Friday, it announced the killing of Hezbollah’s deputy commander in the Bint Jbeil area.
The state-run Lebanese news agency reported that early on Sunday, two Israeli airstrikes hit the Harat Hreik neighborhood in Beirut’s southern suburbs, close to Bahman Hospital. Witnesses in Beirut saw smoke rising from the city’s southern districts, though it remains uncertain if it was related to the same strikes.
