The Israeli Defense Forces claimed it hit a Hezbollah command center in the Dahieh suburb of Beirut on Sunday.Lebanese emergency medical services told Sputnik that Israeli aircraft also bombed the Ghobeiry district of southern Beirut.According to preliminary reports, one person was killed and several others were injured.
“The aggression of Israel against Dahieh has once again shown that the United States lacks either the will or the ability to fulfill its obligations," Ghalibaf wrote on his X account. "You cannot score points by giving the regime a green light. The game of ‘good cop and bad cop’ is outdated.”
