Israel says 'eliminated' top Hezbollah commander in Beirut strike

Israel said it killed a top commander with Hezbollah’s missile and rocket unit Tuesday as the Israeli military traded fire with Hezbollah again and the death toll from a massive Israeli bombardment climbed to nearly 560 people. Military officials said Ibrahim Kobeisi, who they alleged was responsible for launches towards Israel, was killed in a strike on Beirut. The military said “other key commanders” were with Kobeisi at the time of the strike, but officials did not say whether any of the others were killed or wounded. Meanwhile, thousands of people fled from southern Lebanon with the two sides on the brink of all-out war. FRANCE 24's James André reports.
