The Israeli military has claimed that Hezbollah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah was killed in an airstrike that took place in Beirut, Lebanon on Friday. The strike targeted the densely populated southern suburbs of Beirut, known as Dahiyeh, which have a significant Hezbollah presence.
According to Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson Daniel Hagari, the Israeli military specifically targeted Hezbollah’s headquarters in the airstrike. The IDF has stated that the operation was carried out with the intention of hitting key Hezbollah positions in the area.
As of now, Hezbollah has not issued any official statement regarding the reported death of Hassan Nasrallah. The Lebanese militant group, known for its strong anti-Israel stance and involvement in regional conflicts, has yet to confirm or deny the Israeli military’s claim.
The airstrike in Beirut’s southern suburbs has raised tensions in the region, with concerns about potential retaliation from Hezbollah or other militant groups. The incident has also sparked fears of further escalation in the already volatile situation in the Middle East.
Israeli military officials have not provided any additional details about the airstrike or the circumstances surrounding the reported death of Hassan Nasrallah. The situation remains fluid, and further developments are expected as more information becomes available.
