The Israeli army claimed this Thursday to have killed the commander of Hezbollah’s elite force, Radwan, Ahmed Ali Balout, in a bombing the day before in the Shiite suburbs of Beirut. This Wednesday, when the attack was carried out (the first in the Lebanese capital in a month and in the middle of a ceasefire), Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu already indicated that Balout was the target. The bombing also killed another son (the fourth at the hands of Israel) of Hamas’s chief negotiator, Khalil al-Haja. Meanwhile, diplomatic efforts continue to find a solution to the conflict in Iran. US President Donald Trump predicts the war will end “quickly.” Tehran continues to evaluate, presented on Wednesday by the United States, which would declare the end of the war conflict and give way to 30 days to negotiate a detailed agreement that would allow the Strait of Hormuz to be reopened, limit the Iranian nuclear program and withdraw US sanctions.
