Israeli warplanes targeted Ali Karaki, Hezbollah's top commander in southern Lebanon, with an airstrike in Beirut. The Israeli military is still determining if the strike was successful. Hezbollah stated that Karaki is alive and well. His death would significantly impact Hezbollah's capabilities as he leads forces along the Israel-Lebanon border. Israel's ability to target top leaders like Karaki demonstrates their penetration of Hezbollah's communications network.
