Iran parliament speaker visits site of deadliest Israeli strike in central Beirut
Iran's parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf on Saturday visited the site of the deadliest Israeli strike on central Beirut in recent weeks, accompanied by two Hezbollah lawmakers, an AFP photographer said.
A source close to Hezbollah has said that the air raid on Thursday night in the densely populated Basta area, which killed at least 22 people, had targeted the Iran-backed group's security chief Wafiq Safa, but his fate remains unknown.
