BEIRUT/JERUSALEM, Nov. 24 -- Israel killed militant group Hezbollah's top military official in an airstrike in Beirut on Sunday, the Israeli military said, despite a US-brokered truce a year ago. The strike, the first on the outskirts of the Lebanese capital in months, targeted Iran-backed Hezbollah's acting chief of staff, Ali Tabtabai. Senior Hezbollah official Mahmoud Qmati said the strike crossed a "red line". Lebanese President Joseph Aoun urged world leaders to intervene to halt Israeli attacks.P15
