Israel bombs southern Beirut again; Iran warns against ‘miscalculations’
Israel has carried out a new airstrike on Beirut’s southern suburbs, escalating tensions in Lebanon despite a ceasefire that Iran says remains a key condition for any broader agreement to end the war in the region.
The regime's forces launched airstrikes and artillery attacks on several areas in Beirut’s Dahiyeh district on Sunday, killing at least three people and wounding several others.
Citing Israeli and US officials, Axios reported that the Israeli military informed the US Central Command (CENTCOM) shortly before carrying out the attack.
The latest aggression comes as Washington and Tehran are moving closer to a tentative agreement after months of indirect negotiations, with Pakistani officials indicating that a final text of a peace deal has been reached.
Iran has repeatedly stressed that a ceasefire in Lebanon is inseparable from any final agreement with the United States.
Ebrahim Rezaei, spokesman for the Iranian parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, has warned the enemies against any “miscalculations” after the airstrike on Beirut.
In a post on X, Rezaei wrote that the path to any memorandum of understanding “runs through disciplining the Israeli regime.”
“If this rabid dog is not restrained, it will bite us while the ink on any agreement is still drying,” he wrote.
Senior Hezbollah commander assassinated
A senior Hezbollah commander was among those killed in today’s Israeli strike on Dahiyeh, according to reports.
Haj Ali Musa Daqduq, known as Abu Hussein Sajed, has been confirmed as being martyred in the attack.
Daqduq was a top Hezbollah commander and served as the liaison with the Iraqi resistance during the US occupation of Iraq. He was detained in Basra in 2007, and after his release, he returned to Lebanon where he rose to become a senior Hezbollah commander.
Last week, Iran launched a barrage of missiles at the occupied territories after the Israeli regime bombed Dahiyeh despite warnings that such attacks could trigger an Iranian response and jeopardize diplomatic efforts aimed at ending the war.
A fragile Pakistan-brokered ceasefire has been in place since April, but repeated Israeli attacks in Lebanon and continued US violations of the truce have raised concerns about the prospects for a wider agreement.
