The target of the Israeli strike in the Beirut area a short while ago is Ali al-Husni, the head of the missile force in the Imam Hossein Division, an Iranian militia that operates alongside Hezbollah, according to a security source.

It is not immediately clear if the militia member was killed in the strike. The IDF said it would provide further details later.
