Israeli Airstrikes Target Hezbollah Leadership in Beirut, Claiming Major Casualties
In a significant escalation of hostilities, the Israeli military has announced the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah during an airstrike on Beirut, Lebanon. The attack, which occurred on Friday, targeted what Israel described as the central command of the Iran-backed militant group in the southern suburbs of the capital. While Hezbollah has yet to confirm Nasrallah's fate, the Israeli military stated that his death would prevent him from continuing his activities of terrorizing the world.
The airstrikes resulted in at least six confirmed fatalities and left over 90 individuals injured, according to Lebanon's Health Ministry. The bombardment caused extensive destruction, leveling several apartment buildings in the densely populated Dahiyeh neighborhood. Eyewitness accounts described the explosions as some of the most powerful experienced in recent years, with shockwaves felt miles away.
Ali Karki, a key commander within Hezbollah's southern front, was reportedly among those killed in the strikes. The Israeli military has intensified its campaign against Hezbollah in recent weeks, claiming to target high-ranking officials and military capabilities. This latest offensive marks one of the most severe assaults since the onset of ongoing conflicts between Israel and Hezbollah.
Analysts suggest that Nasrallah's death would represent a substantial loss for Iran in its regional influence, raising questions about potential retaliatory actions from Tehran. Observers are now left pondering how Hezbollah will respond and whether it will escalate its military operations against Israel.
The situation remains fluid as rescue teams continue to search through the rubble for survivors amidst ongoing airstrikes across southern Beirut and other regions in Lebanon. The international community watches closely as tensions rise, with fears that this could lead to a broader conflict in an already volatile region.
