Malek Ballout, commander of Hezbollah's Radwan force, was killed in an Israeli attack in the southern suburbs of Beirut.

Malek Ballout, the commander of the Radwan operations of Hezbollah, was killed in an Israeli attack that took place Wednesday evening in the southern suburbs of Beirut, according to a source close to the group. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that the Israeli army carried out an attack in this area, targeting a high-ranking Hezbollah commander to neutralize him.

Netanyahu emphasized that Radwan agents, led by Ballout, were responsible for attacks on Israeli communities. The attack targeted the Ghobeiri neighborhood, marking the first military action of this kind since the ceasefire came into effect on April 17 between Israel and Hezbollah. This situation escalates tensions in the region, considering the impact on local security.
