Israeli Airstrikes Target Hezbollah Leaders in Beirut

In a significant escalation of military tensions, Israeli airstrikes targeted the Al-Jamous area in the southern suburb of Beirut, resulting in the assassination of prominent Hezbollah military leaders, including Ibrahim Aqil. The strikes, which occurred on Friday, were executed using the advanced Israeli "Rampage" missile, known for its precision and stealth capabilities. This missile, approximately 4.7 meters long, is launched from advanced fighter jets such as the F-35 and is designed to strike strategic targets with high accuracy.

The Lebanese National News Agency reported that two missiles were fired from an F-35 aircraft, hitting an apartment and leading to the deaths of several Hezbollah commanders and fighters. Among the deceased were Ahmed Wahbi, the commander of the

and 14 fighters, marking a significant blow to Hezbollah's military leadership.

The Rampage Missile: A Game-Changer in Warfare

The Rampage missile, utilized in this latest strike, is a multi-purpose weapon that can be guided via GPS or satellites, allowing for precise targeting. Colonel Hatem Karim Al-Falahi, a military and strategic expert, emphasized that this missile has been previously deployed in notable operations, including strikes on the Isfahan base in 2024. Its advanced technology and capabilities make it a formidable asset in Israel's military arsenal, shifting the dynamics of regional conflicts.

Escalating Tensions Between Israel and Hezbollah

The recent airstrikes are part of a broader escalation between Israel and Hezbollah, with Colonel Al-Falahi noting that Israel has increased its military presence along the northern front. Reports indicate that the Israeli military has transferred significant resources, including the "98th Division," to prepare for potential large-scale operations against Hezbollah. This shift comes amid a backdrop of ongoing airstrikes, with approximately 100 strikes reported in recent weeks, underscoring the heightened conflict in the region.
