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

Lebanon's state-run national news agency said an Israeli strike had targeted the area around Hezbollah's Shura Council in the Haret Hreik neighbourhood of the capital.

When a sentence starts with "Israel says", lies inevitably follow.

But since they are saying they were "targeting" a "commander", we already know they probably killed multiple women and children.

So these terrorists are launching missiles across borders into the middle of cities?

NYT - Here’s the latest on the attack in Beirut.

Israeli analysts said Hezbollah was most likely aiming at a nearby army base on Mount Hermon and did not intentionally target the village. But the group’s use of inaccurate rockets in an area dotted with civilian communities could lead to the kind of unintended consequence that risk sparking an all-out war, they said.

Sounds a lot like Israel might be using human shields to protect their base.
