29 killed in Israeli strike on central Beirut said to target top Hezbollah commander Muhammad Haydar

A large-scale Israeli airstrike conducted without warning on a central Beirut building killed at least 29 people and wounded scores more, Lebanese officials said, with media reports indicating that the strike targeted a top Hezbollah leader.

The strike was an attempt to kill top Hezbollah commander Muhammad Haydar, the al-Arabiya news site reported. The report was later confirmed by an Israeli defense source to the Kan public broadcaster.

The Saudi Al Hadath news outlet cited unnamed Israeli sources as saying the strike had failed to kill Haydar. The IDF has not commented on the matter.

At least 29 people were killed in the strike in Beirut and 66 were wounded, Lebanon’s health ministry said Sunday evening, updating a previous death toll of 20.

The strike on central Beirut, which appeared to have used bunker-buster bombs, came as the Israeli Air Force conducted several waves of strikes on Hezbollah targets in Hezbollah’s Dahiyah stronghold in Beirut’s south. The Israel Defense Forces issued evacuation warnings ahead of those strikes.

Similar strikes carried out without warning outside of the Dahiyah have tended to target high-level Hezbollah members.

Haydar is a member of Hezbollah’s top military body, the Jihad Council, though his exact current position in the Iran-backed terror group is currently unknown. According to Kan, Haydar and another top Hezbollah commander, Haytham Ali Tabataba’i, have been Hezbollah’s de-facto military leaders since Israel killed the terror group’s longtime leader, Hassan Nasrallah, along with most of the group’s top military brass in a wave of recent strikes.

Yes, please post KIA photos and information in the discussion thread only, unless there are photos/videos of the death/body itself. This thread should only include combat related footage/media.

Thank you.

Pretty crazy turn of events for the guy whose walls just disappear

This Border Police footage is sometimes incredible. The best since these stabbing attack vids from earlier this year Thx for sharing.



Jenin and surroundings. Alot IDF and Police raids. Weapon workshops busted.



Senior operatives of the PFLP arrested in latest Westbank raids. Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.



Vid1 Near Bethlehem, Westbank. Molotov Cocktail set an IDF checkpoint ablaze.

Vid2 Jenin. IDF Amir MRAP got hit by an IED. Already happened a while ago. No new casualty announcements. I hope just material damage. As you can see, Hamas / Al Qassam claims responsibility.

Vid3 Also Jenin. Terrorist shot, according to the channel.

Vid 4 Another arrest near Bethlehem.

IDF reached and crossed the Litani River, which seperates South Lebanon from the rest of the country.









Already startet to locate Hizbollah launchers north of the river.


The ceasefire between Lebanon (Hizbollah..) and Israel seems to be very close. If its getting signed, it would include a 60 day ceasefire and a gradual retreat of all IDF forces.

US, France, UN and the Lebanese army are set to prevent Hizbollah to reoccupy the borderlands and to rearm (we all know this wont work^^). Anyways, Israel will still be able to have the important security override over Lebanon. Means...when there are attempts of Hezbollah to regroup and to rearm, IDF is entitled to strike.

If this is true, Israel reached all its war goals. North will be pacified for now. The displaced populace might return and the most important point: Hezbollah will be seperated from Hamas in Gaza. IDF can re-deploy and focus once more on Hamas.

Gaza Highlights

Vid 1 - Random foot patrol

Vid 2 - Turf battle excerpt between mafia clans of Hamas and the Jargon Family.

Interesting backstory of how the Hamas thugs are running $$$ operations stealing donated supplies and selling them to the residents.

"The fighting broke out when members of the Jargon family refused to pay tax on a cigarette truck passing through the clan’s area of the southern Gaza city. Hamas charges a tax on trucks ranging from $50,000 to 50 percent of the value of the delivery.

TPS-IL has learned that the Jargon family had recently paid Hamas $80,000 in protection money for a certain number of trucks under the clan’s protection to pass through Khan Yunis and did not want to make another payment.

According to reports from Gaza, there were casualties on both sides.

Hamas recently established a new police unit called “Arrow” tasked with securing trucks delivering humanitarian aid and directing them exclusively to the terror group’s storage facilities. Gaza residents claim that this unit is made up of around 1,000 people, many of whom are residents of Jabaliya in northern Gaza. The force is said to be equipped with US-made M16 weapons and headed by the chief of the Khan Yunis police.

The unit enjoys great support from the clans and residents of Gaza, indicating the importance of food distribution as a means of controlling the population. Since mid-November, around 85% of aid trucks entering Gaza were looted.

TPS-IL learned that Hamas has granted distribution lines to these groups to ensure that humanitarian aid exclusively reaches Hamas. In return, these gangs receive money, food and vouchers. Hamas also pays these gangs $10,000 a month to maintain checkpoints.

Meanwhile, sacks of flour and rice donated by the West are being sold for $700 and $500 respectively while a pack of cigarettes costs $1,500.

In September, Palestinian sources told TPS-IL that Hamas was charging $800 for donated tents."

Thank you for all the great backstory for the infighting and the price gouging. I am surprised that the gang warfare did not break out earlier once HAMAS was weakened. But those who have the guns make the rules

Lebanon ceasefire since 24 hours. The 60 day period is now in effect. Its planned to slowly retreat IDF forces and to cease the borderlands step by step to the Lebanese Army. Hizbollah is supposed to stay out of South Lebanon. Turned out POTUS Biden applied max pressure by holding back weapon shipments to Israel of up to 40.000 ordnance pieces. US also threatened to snipe Israel into the head by letting some toxic UNSC resolutions pass, which would politically harm Israel in the long run. Nevertheless, the ceasefire is real and so is the Hizbollah - Hamas split. The critical southern mountain ranges are still secured. From where Hiz sniped into Northern Israel with Kornets and shot hundrets of rocket barrages. US and FRA seem to guarantee Hiz won't built up again within Lebanon. Part of the deal was that France declared the ICC arrest warrants as null and void. Good all around package for Israel. I'd consider it as successful campaign, unlike the 2006 Lebanon War.

I also read several dozen Hiz operatives have been already killed by IDF for violating the ceasefire terms (Israeli security override over Lebanon in effect).


Last IDF charts of that campaign. Missile production sites nuked.


Hibollah air/missile/drone unit. Whole chain of command taken out shortly before the ceasefire came into effect. These guys were the ones organising the drone/missile attacks into Israel. Also some of their installations were taken out (vid 5).




IDF documentary soldier of the Spokesperson unit joined the small push over Litani River.


IDF announcement in Arabic: Its not allowed to return to these areas (for now).


1-4: Last strikes in the night before the ceasefire. Huge explosions. An underground missile workshop was hit in Beirut etc.

Vid 5: Just hours before the ceasefire came into effect: The whole senior staff of the Hizbollah drone/air/missile unit was taken out. As well as their main compound.

Vid6: Hiz MLRS (^^) smoked.

Vid7: One of the last IDF operations was the capture of Kiam / Chiyam. Completly abandoned by Hizbolla. No one there.

Vid8: IDF already retreated from some of the most nothern positions. Here one of the first smart phone vids of returning Lebanese citizens.

Pic 2 - Location map of Idlib District in NW Syria.

Vid 1-2 - Syrian rebel offensive footage.

The Syrian army relied heavily on Hezbollah during the Syrian civil war, so with Hez in chaos, anti-Assad Syrian rebels have launched a major offensive in Idlib district.

In just six hours, Syrian rebels advanced to within 7 kilometers of Aleppo’s center, seizing dozens of towns, military bases, weapons depots, and tanks. They also dealt significant losses to Iranian militias in Aleppo’s western countryside during the first day of fighting.
