Sources Deny Reports about Martyrdom of IRGC Top Commander in Beirut

Informed sources told the Tasnim News Agency on Friday that fake reports by the Israeli media about the martyrdom of Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Fallahzadeh, the deputy commander of the IRGC Quds Force in Beirut are “pure lies”.

The Israeli military has carried out airstrikes against the Lebanese capital Beirut, saying it staged a “targeted strike” against the city.

Lebanon’s Health Ministry said at least 11 people were killed and some 66 others wounded in the aggression.

According to Lebanon’s official National News Agency (NNA), five children were among the fatalities.

Lebanon’s al-Mayadeen television network said a drone fired several missiles against Beirut’s heavily-populated Dahiyeh suburb. The NNA, meanwhile, said an F35 jet targeted residential areas with two strikes.

Prime Minister Najib Mikati denounced the aggression, saying, “Targeting a populated area in Beirut’s southern suburbs proves Israeli enemy has no regard for any humanitarian or legal considerations.”
