The Israeli military announced on Saturday that they had carried out a successful operation, resulting in the death of Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the Hezbollah group. This strike took place in Beirut on Friday, targeting the Hezbollah leadership who were gathered at their headquarters in Dahiyeh, located in the south of the city. Along with Nasrallah, Ali Karki, the Commander of Hezbollah's Southern Front, and several other commanders were also killed in the attack, as confirmed by the Israeli military.
This military action caused significant collateral damage, with six apartment buildings being leveled and many innocent civilians losing their lives. According to the Lebanese Health Ministry, six people were killed and 91 were injured in the strikes. Nasrallah, who had held the leadership position for over three decades, was a prominent figure in the region and his death marks a major blow to the Hezbollah group.
The Israeli military continued their aggressive response on Saturday, launching a heavy barrage of airstrikes on Hezbollah targets. In retaliation, Hezbollah fired dozens of rockets towards Israel, intensifying the tensions between the two sides. As the situation escalates, Israel has announced the mobilization of additional reserve soldiers, with three battalions being activated on Saturday morning.
The Israeli military also carried out several strikes in southern Beirut and the Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon on Saturday morning. These attacks were met with a barrage of projectiles from Hezbollah, targeting both northern and central Israel as well as the Israel-occupied West Bank. In the southern suburbs of Beirut, the streets were deserted and smoke rose in the aftermath of the heavy airstrikes. Many families were displaced and forced to seek shelter in public squares, beaches, and even their cars.
The situation in Lebanon has become dire, with hundreds of people fleeing their homes and seeking safety in the mountains above the capital. The death toll continues to rise, with at least six people killed and 91 wounded in Friday's attacks, according to Lebanon's health ministry. This tragedy has only fueled the conflict, pushing it dangerously close to a full-fledged war.
The Health Ministry estimates that around 720 people have lost their lives in Lebanon during this week-long period of violence. As rescue teams search through the rubble of the six destroyed buildings, the death toll is expected to increase significantly. In response to the initial blast, Israel launched a series of strikes on other areas of the southern suburbs, intensifying the already tense situation. The future remains uncertain as both sides continue to exchange attacks and casualties continue to rise.
