An Israeli strike on Beirut killed another Hezbollah commander on Thursday as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defied calls by his key backer the United States for a 21-day ceasefire in Lebanon.

The Israeli military said that its fighter jets “targeted and eliminated” Muhammad Hussein Srour and identified him as “the commander of Hezbollah’s air unit”. It was the fourth attack in a week targeting Hezbollah members.

Israeli Prime Minister Natanyahu on Thursday rejected the 21-day truce proposal by the US, France, and other allies, and ordered his troops “to continue the fighting with full force”.

Netanyahu said that ensuring the safe return of Israelis to their homes was a priority. “We will speak in actions, not words,” he wrote on X. “Let no one be confused: we will not stop hitting Hezbollah until we return our residents safely to their homes,” he said in another post.
