Can't trust phones because networks are compromised.The Israeli military said it killed top Hezbollah military commanders, including the militia's head of operations Ibrahim Aqil, on Friday in an airstrike on a southern Beirut neighborhood. Lebanon's health ministry said at least 12 people were killed and dozens more were wounded.
The big picture: The strike in Beirut is further escalating the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, risking an all-out war.
Hezbollah has not confirmed Aqil's death.
The IDF said Aqil was the head of Hezbollah's military operations and the commander of the elite Radwan Forces, and was killed along with other commanders in the unit.
An Israeli official said the senior command of the Radwan forces — about 20 commanders — were killed in the strike.
IDF spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said in a press conference that Aqil and the Radwan unit commanders were killed as they held a meeting.
If Israeli claims are true, we should know by tomorrow since Hezbollah always reveals its loses.
Can't use pagers because they are bombs.
Can't use handheld radios because they are also bombs.
Meet in person and get bombed.
Whatever they are paying the mole must be huge since they seem to have unreasonable pull within Hezbollah.
There's no hope that Israel will be able to conduct conventional warfare again Hezbollah without heavy casualties, so going after C&C and leadership seems sane.
