Israel launches targeted airstrike at Hezbollah’s headquarters, aiming to neutralize Hassan Nasrallah
Israel launched a targeted airstrike on Hezbollah’s headquarters in southern Beirut, aimed at neutralizing the group’s leadership, including its chief, Hassan Nasrallah.
This strike came after escalating hostilities, with Israel intensifying its military campaign against Hezbollah, which has been engaged in cross-border fighting. The airstrikes flattened several buildings in Beirut’s Dahiyeh suburb, causing widespread destruction and civilian casualties.
Israel's military stated that the operation was intended to dismantle Hezbollah’s command and weapon depots. The ongoing conflict has displaced thousands as residents flee to safer areas. Meanwhile, Hezbollah has continued to retaliate with rocket fire targeting Israeli areas, as tensions between the two sides remain high. The strikes also coincided with Prime Minister Netanyahu’s address to the UN, where he vowed to continue fighting Hezbollah and its allies until the threat to Israeli citizens is eliminated.
