– Hezbollah Losses Grow To 9 In One Day After Israel Mounts Another Major Airstrike:
Update(1719ET): Within hours after the Nasrallah speech, Israel has conducted another major airstrike on Lebanon, this time against a residential building which housed Hezbollah members.
“Two security sources told the Reuters news agency that four Hezbollah members were killed in the attack on what had been described as a residential building,” Al Jazeera reports. Importantly, “It brings the number of Hezbollah members killed on Wednesday to nine” – which suggests we are witnessing a significant escalation.
A Pentagon statement has also implicated Israel in the earlier targeted drone strike which killed Hamas deputy head Saleh al-Arouri. While Israel had not officially owned up to it, a CENTCOM statement said to reporters, “The strike was an Israeli strike. Please refer all questions to IDF.”
