Israeli forces launched a targeted airstrike on Beirut's southern suburbs, aiming at a senior commander within Hezbollah's elite Radwan Force. This operation marks the first strike on the Lebanese capital in nearly a month, potentially undermining the fragile US-mediated ceasefire. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed he personally ordered the assassination, citing the commander's involvement in previous rocket attacks against Israel. These developments have heightened market concerns regarding geopolitical instability and the potential collapse of the current truce. Analysts are closely monitoring Hezbollah's response, as this escalation could trigger a broader military confrontation. Financial markets remain on edge as investors assess the impact of renewed hostilities on oil prices and global risk sentiment.
