20.09.2024 โข The day Hezbollah's top commander fell in Beirut
โจTensions escalated dramatically between Israel and Hezbollah. Early reports indicated Israel had struck 100 Hezbollah rocket launchers in Lebanon. Hezbollah retaliated by firing over 100 rockets into northern Israel. The situation intensified when Israel conducted a "targeted strike" on Beirut, initially reported to have killed three people. As the day progressed, the death toll rose to 14, including a top Hezbollah military commander. The IDF confirmed the commander's death, stating he was overseeing plans to invade Galilee. The UN warned that further violence could spark a major conflict. Meanwhile, domestic UK news focused on Labour Party leaders agreeing to stop accepting free clothes amidst criticism, and allegations of sexual abuse against the late Mohamed Al Fayed compared to scandals involving Savile, Epstein, and Weinstein.
