Any attack on the country’s infrastructure will be faced with retaliation, Iran's foreign minister Abbas Araqchi said on Tuesday, even as the Israeli military said it had killed a senior Hezbollah commander in a strike on Beirut a day after the one-year anniversary of the October 7 attack was marked by mourning and demonstrations around the globe.
The Israeli military said the strike killed Suhail Husseini, who it said was responsible for overseeing logistics, budget and management of the militant group.
There was no immediate comment from Hezbollah.
The military said Husseini was involved in the transfer of advanced weapons from Iran and their distribution to different Hezbollah units, and that he was a member of the group's military council.
Israeli strikes have killed Hezbollah's overall leader, Hassan Nasrallah, and several of his top commanders in recent weeks. Last week, Israel launched what it says is a limited ground incursion into southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah says it has already replaced its slain commanders. It has vowed to keep firing rockets, missiles and drones into Israel until there is a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip, where its ally Hamas has been at war with Israel for a year.
