Reports in Lebanon: Radwan Force commander Malik Balout eliminated in strike in the Dahiyeh

In the last 24 hours, many reports have flowed regarding a targeted airstrike in the Dahiyeh district of Beirut, which according to assessments was aimed at the commander of Hezbollah's Radwan Force, Malik Balout. In a report by Zirat HaHadashot, a senior Israeli official was quoted claiming that "the commander of Hezbollah's Radwan Force and his deputy were eliminated in the strike in the Dahiyeh, along with additional terrorists," while emphasizing that the operation was coordinated with the United States.

Most channels, among them HaHadashot HaHamot, Amichai Stein | The Diplomatic Channel and Mivzakey Bitachon 24/7, confirmed that the target of the strike was Balout. The channel Sulieman & Blumenthal added that "in Israel they assess: Radwan Force commander, Malik Balout, was eliminated in the strike in the Dahiyeh in Beirut." It is worth noting that this channel sometimes takes a critical line toward the government leadership in Israel, but the report on the elimination aligns with the consensus emerging from the other sources.

Field footage published on Carmel News showed "the site of the attempted elimination of the Radwan Force commander," while additional sources, among them Moriah Asraf and Doron Kadosh and Shachar Kleiman, confirmed that this is a targeted elimination operation of a key figure in the terrorist organization Hezbollah. The information remains at this stage a security assessment based on official reports and senior political figures.
