Lebanon’s health minister says the death toll from the Israeli airstrike on a Beirut suburb the day before has risen to 31, including seven women and three children.

BEIRUT -- Israel launched a rare airstrike that killed a senior Hezbollah military official in a densely populated southern Beirut neighborhood Friday. It was the deadliest such strike on Lebanon's capital in decades, with Lebanese authorities reporting at least 14 people killed and dozens more wounded in the attack.

Israel’s military claimed it killed Ibrahim Aqil, a senior Hezbollah commander, and “about 10” others in a dramatic airstrike that has raised fears of all-out war.
