Israel says it has struck Beirut, targeting commander accused in deaths of 12 children and teens

[NYPOST] Israel launched an Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
 in the Lebanese capital of Beirut Tuesday — targeting a Hezbollah commander accused in the slaughter of 12 children in a rocket attack over the weekend.

The Israeli military confirmed in an X post that it was behind the strikes, which it says were intended to take out the leader believed to be responsible for Saturday’s massacre at a soccer field in the Israel-controlled Golan Heights.

"The IDF carried out a targeted strike in Beirut, on the commander responsible for the murder of children in Majdal Shams and the killing of numerous additional Israeli civilians," they wrote in a statement.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged a "swift, harsh and painful" response to the vicious rocket attack by Hezbollah, which also injured 40 civilians.

"These children are our children... The state of Israel will not, and cannot, let this pass," he said. "Our response will come and it will be harsh."

At least one person was killed and several others injured in Tuesday’s strike in the southern suburbs of Beirut, an area known as a stronghold for the Iran-backed terror group.

Flights to Beirut airport were canceled starting Monday amid fears of disruptions caused by Israel’s retaliatory strike.

Since the attack on the soccer field Israeli forces have conducted several airstrikes in southern Lebanon, including a drone attack Monday that reportedly killed two Hezbollah operatives.

IDF followed that strike with additional barrages that destroyed several of the Islamist turban group’s weapons caches, as well as infrastructure in Lebanon.

Hezbollah has bravely denied any role in the attack.
