Lebanon: Explosion reported in Beirut as Israel claims it targeted Hezbollah commander

Israel’s military said it carried out a strike targeting a Hezbollah commander in the Lebanese capital Beirut on Tuesday, in response to a deadly attack on the occupied Golan Heights over the weekend.

Senior Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr, who was the alleged target of the strike survived, security sources told the Reuters news agency.

At least one woman and several people were wounded by the strike, Lebanese state media reported.

At least one woman and several people…

I clicked the article to double check and sure enough, it’s still there. I’m sure it’s meant to enhance the perceived seriousness of the attack (“won’t someone think of the women and children? Look! They hurt one!”), but it reads more like “one non-person, not understood to be pregnant at this time, and several actual human beings…”

MEE is usually pretty accurate but the wording here is indeed strange. Maybe they mean they have confirmed that one of the victims was a woman and the rest is still unknown.

I truly wasn’t trying to disparage the source, it was just phrasing that jumped out at me as being a little off

It seems to me, that their targetting kinda sucks.
