Israel has carried out a precision airstrike in the southern suburbs of Beirut, its first in months, killing Hezbollah's top military commander Haytham Tabtabai. The Iran-backed group warned the attack could trigger escalation, nearly a year after a ceasefire.

Israel has accused Hezbollah of rearming, and has urge the government in Lebanonto disarm the group. Lebanon's president has called for international intervention as UN figures show over 100 civilian deaths since the truce almost a year ago.
