Israel-Gaza-Lebanon updates: Nasrallah killed for tying Hezbollah cause to Gaza war

The foreign ministers of the Group of 7 said they have "deep concern" over "the trend of escalatory violence" in the Middle East, in a joint statement Tuesday.

The statement doesn’t call out Israel by name, it does call for "a stop to the current destructive cycle," warning "no country stands to gain from a further escalation in the Middle East."

"Actions and counter-reactions risk magnifying this dangerous spiral of violence and dragging the entire Middle East into a broader regional conflict with unimaginable consequences," it reads, while calling for the full implementation of the U.N. Security Council resolution that implemented a cease-fire between Israel and Hezbollah in 2006.

Additionally, the statement reaffirms the G7’s "strong support" for the ongoing efforts to broker a hostage release and cease-fire deal in Gaza.

Israel claimed it killed a top Hezbollah commander in Tuesday's strike on Beirut, which killed at least six people and injured 15 others, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health.

The IDF said it targeted and killed Ibrahim Muhammad Kabisi, a commander of Hezbollah's missile and rocket array.

"Kabisi commanded the various missile units of Hezbollah, including the precision missile units. Over the years and during the war, he was responsible for the launches towards the Israeli home front. Kabisi was a central center of knowledge in the field of missiles and was close to the senior military leadership of Hezbollah," the IDF said in a statement.

The IDF also claimed he was responsible for the planning and execution of many terrorist plots against IDF forces and Israeli citizens.

At least six people were killed and 15 others were wounded after Israel carried out a strike on the Ghobeiry neighborhood of Beirut on Tuesday, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health.

It appears the top floor of a concrete apartment building took the brunt of the strike.

The U.S. is continuing to urge Israel to avoid an "all-out war" with Lebanon as tensions between the two countries remain high, National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said in an interview on "Good Morning America" Tuesday.

"I think we don't believe it's in Israel's interest for this to escalate, for there to be an all-out war there on the north on that blue line between Israel and Lebanon. If the goal is to get families back to their homes, we think there's a better way to do that than an all-out conflict," Kirby said.

"The Israelis will tell you, yesterday, that they had to take some of these strikes because they were about to be imminently attacked by Hezbollah. They do have a right to defend themselves, but what we're going to keep doing is talking to them about trying to find a diplomatic solution here, a way to de-escalate the tensions so that the families can go back in a sustainable way," Kirby added.

Given the State Department's warning to Americans to get out of Lebanon while commercial travel is still available on if he believes Israel may target airports in Lebanon as they have in the past.

"We want to make sure that there are still commercial options available for Americans to leave, and they should be leaving now while those options are available. But I won't get ahead of operations," Kirby said.

Kirby also dodged questions on what we might see from Hezbollah's response to Israel, telling GMA he "won't get into the intelligence assessment."

"It's obviously going to be something we'll monitor very, very closely. I will just tell you that while we won't get involved in the conflict itself there, around that blue line, because we don't want to see a conflict at all. We'll do what we have to continue to do to make sure Israel can defend itself."
