Earlier on Monday, it was reported that the IDF conducted an air strike in Beirut which was an attempt to eliminate senior Hezbollah official Ali Karaki, commander of the terrorist organization's southern command.

Karaki was supposed to replace Ibrahim Aqil as the head of Hezbollah's operations division after Aqil was eliminated, together with the commanders of the Radwan Force, in a Beirut basement on Friday.

Sky News Arabic reported that Karaki was indeed killed in the strike, which consisted of six missiles that struck the building in which he was staying. Hezbollah denied the reports and insisted that Karaki is “fine”.
