An Israeli airstrike in the heart of southern Beirut destroyed two residential buildings on 20 September, killing at least 9 people and injuring dozens more, including women and children.
Israeli media claimed the airstrike targeted the commander of Hezbollah's elite Radwan Force, Ibrahim Aqil, who took the place of former top military commander Fuad Shukr, assassinated by a similar Israeli strike on a building in Beirut in July.
Friday's airstrike followed dual terror attacks in which Israel's intelligence service detonated thousands of communication devices, killing 37 and injuring thousands throughout Lebanon.
Al-Mayadeen's correspondent said that children were among the casualties after four missiles struck a building located in the al-Qaim neighborhood in the Southern Suburb of Beirut.
