NORAH O’DONNELL: Tonight, Israel says it has eliminated that key Hezbollah commander in a strike using fighter jets. Now the big question: How will the terror group respond? Good evening. I'm Norah O'Donnell, and thank you for being with us. The world is watching what happens next as fears arise that an all-out war could erupt on Israel's northern border. We are just learning that three people are dead and 74 others are injured in the Beirut strike. That's according to Lebanon's health ministry. But the IDF says it got its target. Why does it matter? Well, the right-hand man to Hezbollah’s secretary general was targeted. Remember, he was a commander involved in the 1983 attack on the U.S. Marine Corps barracks in Beirut that killed hundreds of U.S. military personnel. CBS's Imtiaz Tyab reports from the neighborhood that was hit.

IMTIAZ TYAB: This is what Israeli retaliation looks like. Beirut's densely populated southern Dahiah neighborhood, showered in debris following the precision strike by Israeli fighter jets. When we arrived at the scene shortly afterwards, hundreds had already gathered. Well, just over my shoulder there you can see there is one of the buildings that was damaged by the Israeli strike, and there’s a scene of real chaos here, but also of real anger.
