Going to go to Lebanon's capital,
Beirut, after the Israeli attack there.
Marcus Moore has the latest on the strike.
Good morning to you, Marcus.
Robin, good morning. This was a significant strike happening just
before sundown here in southern Beirut,
Hezbollah stronghold. Israeli officials targeting Ford Schuker,
he's Hezbollah top military commander.
And overnight, Lebanese officials saying that a rescue operation was
underway at the scene.
In a statement, Hezbollah saying that Shuker was in the
building at the time of the strike,
but they have not said anything about his condition this
morning.
Israel overnight claiming that Shukar had been quote,
eliminated. Now, according to the Lebanese Red Cross Agency,
several people were killed. And more than 70 injured in
the attack.
Now, Israel says it was in retaliation for a strike
that killed 12 children at a soccer field in the
Israeli controlled Golan Heights over the weekend.
Now, Hezbollah is denying any involvement in what happened there.
Now, in the past, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has said
an attack on Beirut will be met with an attack
on Tel Aviv.
People across the region now waiting to see what happens
next.
George. OK, Marcus, thanks very much.
