JAKARTA - Israel notified the United States ahead of Israel's attack on Hezbollah in southern Beirut, sources quoted CNN as saying.

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Hezbollah was passing the red line, after Israel launched a retaliatory attack in southern Beirut on Tuesday, July 30 evening local time.

"Hezbollah crossed the red line," Gallant wrote on X, minutes after the Israeli military claimed responsibility for the targeted attack on a Hezbollah commander deemed responsible for the deadly attack on Israel's occupied Golan Heights earlier this month.

The series of attacks marked Israel's most significant escalation, since tensions between Israel and Iran-backed militant groups flared up after October 7.

A loud explosion was heard and a puff of smoke was seen rising above the southern suburbs of the Lebanese Hezbollah armed group at around 19:40 local time, witnesses told Reuters on Wednesday, July 31, western Indonesia time.

The IDF carried out a targeted attack in Beirut against commanders responsible for the killing of children in Majdal Shams and the killing of a number of other Israeli civilians, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement.

It did not issue new instructions for civilian defense in Israel after the attack.

A senior source of Lebanon's security said the fate of the commander was still unclear.
