BEIRUT (AP) — The Israeli military says its airstrike on a neighborhood of Beirut killed Ibrahim Akil, a senior Hezbollah military official. There was no immediate confirmation of his death on Friday from Hezbollah. The Israeli strike in the southern suburbs of Lebanon’s capital killed at least nine people and wounded nearly 60 others, and flattened two apartment buildings. That’s according to Lebanese health officials. The Israeli military also claimed that its strike killed other “top operatives” of Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force, without elaborating. A Hezbollah official has confirmed that Akil was supposed to be in the building in the Dahiya district that was hit.
