An Israeli airstrike took out a top Hezbollah commander who was behind the infamous 1983 Beirut bombings at the U.S. Embassy and the marine barracks. It comes after members of the terror group were targeted in a series of attacks on their pagers and walkie talkies.

The attack, which hit the densely populated neighbourhood of Dahieh, a Hezbollah stronghold in southern Beirut, killed at least 37 people, including three children, and wounded 68 others, Lebanon’s health ministry said.

The death toll from Israel's airstrike on the southern Beirut stronghold of the Lebanese Islamic militant group Hezbollah has risen to 31, the country's top health official said Saturday.
