Israel Kills Islamic Jihad Commander in Baalbek Airstrike
π₯ BAALBEK β Israel just reached deep into the Bekaa, and the target wasn't Hezbollah. π LOOK CLOSER: Baalbek is Hezbollah's strategic heartland β striking Islamic Jihad there signals Israel is widening its Lebanon target set beyond the south. PIJ operates under Iranian command, not Lebanese political cover. Killing a PIJ commander in Bekaa pulls Iran's proxy network directly into the Lebanon escalation, days before Tuesday's NSC war decision.
