Israel’s military killed a senior Hezbollah commander and other operatives in an airstrike Friday in a Beirut suburb, escalating a days-long assault on the group’s communications and logistics infrastructure and shocking an already traumatized nation fearful of all-out war.

       The strike collapsed one residential building and heavily damaged another, killing at least 14 people, according to Lebanese health officials and emergency personnel. Israel said the operation killed prominent Hezbollah leader Ibrahim Aqil, along with other senior commanders. Hezbollah confirmed Aqil’s death in a statement and said he was killed with “a group of martyred brothers” without elaborating.
