Senior Hezbollah figure Wafiq Safa has survived an Israeli assassination attempt in Beirut, three security sources tell Reuters.

Safa was apparently targeted as part of Israeli airstrikes that struck two areas of Beirut, which the Lebanese health ministry reported killed 22 and injured 117, marking the deadliest attacks in the center of the capital since Israel escalated its campaign against Hezbollah last month.
