Hassan Nasrallah

Israel announced on Saturday that it has killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, delivering what could be its most significant blow to the militant group in recent months of fierce conflict. Hezbollah has yet to confirm the death.

Should the claim prove accurate, Nasrallah would be the most powerful target to fall amid intensified fighting with Hezbollah. Israeli forces also killed Ali Karki, Hezbollah's Southern Front Commander, and other senior commanders during a precise airstrike on Friday at their headquarters in Dahiyeh, southern Beirut.

Israel's Chief of Staff, Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, emphasized that the elimination of Nasrallah is "not the end of our toolbox," suggesting more strikes are forthcoming. The Israeli military is deploying additional reserve soldiers and escalating operations as tensions with Lebanon continue to mount.
