Raw video captured an Israeli missile slamming into a multi-story building in Beirut’s southern Dahiya suburbs Tuesday, a known Hezbollah nerve center packed with militants and their infrastructure. Lebanon’s Health Ministry, which has a track record of inflating civilian numbers while downplaying terrorist losses, claimed one civilian dead and 17 injured in the strike, including some Syrians. Israel said it hit a surveillance site used by the Iran-backed terror group to threaten its borders. This latest precision strike comes as Israel presses its campaign to crush Hezbollah after the group launched rockets into Israeli territory, igniting the fresh round of fighting in early March. Over 1,000 Lebanese have been killed since then, with Israel reporting hundreds of Hezbollah fighters among the dead. Nearly a million people, about 20% of Lebanon’s population, have fled their homes amid the chaos. Hezbollah started this round by firing first. Israel is finishing the job the only way that works against an enemy that hides among civilians and uses apartment blocks as command posts. Weak responses invite more attacks. Strong action deters them.
