L008-LIBANO ATAQUE ISRAEL HEZBOLA
STORY: The Israeli army released a video claiming to show the strike that killed Hezbollah's top military in the southern suburb of Beirut on Sunday (November 23) despite a U.S.-brokered truce a year ago.
The strike, the first on the outskirts of the Lebanese capital in months, targeted Iran-backed Hezbollah's acting chief of staff, Ali Tabtabai, the military said in a statement.
Hezbollah confirmed the death of Tabtabai in a statement, mourning him as "the great jihadist commander" who had "worked to confront Israeli enemy until the last moment of his blessed life," showing his seniority, but without giving details about his exact role.
Lebanon's health ministry said the strike killed five people and wounded 28 more. The strike, which hit a multi-story building, comes despite a U.S.-brokered truce a year ago.
Reuters was able to verify the location by the design of the roofs, the water tanks and corroborating visuals that matched the file and satellite imagery of the area. The date was verified by corroborating aftermath footage from Reuters.
