AI Summary
Israel has conducted an air strike on Beirut's southern suburbs for the first time since a ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah was announced in mid-April, targeting what Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said was a senior commander of the group's Radwan Force. Despite the ceasefire deal brokered by the US, both Israel and Hezbollah have continued attacks, accusing each other of violations, with Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon killing over 120 people in the past week according to Lebanon's health ministry. Israel maintains a military presence in a strip of Lebanese border territory, stating its aim is to establish a "Hezbollah-free security zone" to protect its northern communities.
