Hassan Nasrallah, the long-standing leader of Hezbollah, was confirmed killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut. The strike, which targeted Hezbollah leadership in Dahiyeh, also took the lives of six Lebanese and injured 91 others, according to Lebanon's Health Ministry.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stated that the airstrike was a result of thorough surveillance and real-time intelligence, aiming to debilitate Hezbollah's capabilities. Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani emphasized that despite the loss, Hezbollah's arsenal remains largely intact, and Israel will continue its offensive to neutralize the group.
The death of Nasrallah marks a crucial juncture in the decades-long conflict, with Israel vowing to sustain its strikes until Hezbollah ceases its hostilities. The strike's aftermath has led to significant displacement, with thousands of civilians on both sides being forced from their homes amidst ongoing hostilities.
