Israel Faces Iran-Backed 'Ring of Fire' in Ground War with Hezbollah

In its campaign against the Iran-backed Lebanese group, Israel carried out a large strike on Beirut's southern suburbs late on Thursday that Axios cited three Israeli officials as saying targeted Hashem Safieddine in an underground bunker.

Israel continues to face attacks from a range of Iran-aligned forces from across the region as Israeli troops attempt to battle their way deeper into Hezbollah's stronghold of southern Lebanon.

The attacks from Israel have eliminated multiple senior players in Hezbollah’s military leadership, including Nasrallah, in an air attack on September 27.

One of Iran's top military commanders is believed to have been killed in an Israeli attack that targeted the new leader of terror group Hezbollah.
