Latest Updates on Lebanon Crisis: Israeli Strikes, Hezbollah Leader Hassan Nasrallah Killed, and More

Title: Israel Launches Deadly Attacks on Lebanon, Killing Hezbollah Leader Hassan Nasrallah

In a shocking turn of events, the Israeli military launched deadly attacks on Lebanon, resulting in the death of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah and targeting more than 140 locations. Reports indicated that the killings included his daughter, Zainab Nasrallah. The army began strikes in the densely populated Dahiyeh suburb of Beirut on Friday, aiming to target Hezbollah’s headquarters and weapons depots.

One of the primary targets of the attack was Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, who Israel confirmed as dead on Saturday. The Israeli military also stated that they had killed a commander of Hezbollah’s missile unit, Muhammad Ali Ismail, along with his deputy, Hossein Ahmed Ismail, in southern Lebanon.

The Israeli offensive against Hezbollah has resulted in over 700 deaths in Lebanon over the past week, including both civilians and Hezbollah operatives. Witnesses reported hearing more than 20 separate airstrikes conducted before dawn on Saturday in Beirut.

Airstrikes carried out by Israel in Beirut on Friday, allegedly targeting Hezbollah operatives, resulted in six deaths and 91 injuries, according to provisional data provided by Lebanon’s health ministry on Saturday. Seven buildings were demolished in the strikes, where Israeli forces claimed weapons were being stored. However, Hezbollah has denied establishing a weapons depot in Beirut.

As reported by AFP, Israel indicated that their next strike would be on Saturday in the Tyre region of southern Lebanon, targeting "terror targets" belonging to the Hezbollah terrorist organization in the area.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian strongly condemned Israel’s airstrikes on the densely populated southern suburbs of Beirut on Friday, describing the attacks as a "flagrant war crime" that exposes the true nature of Israel’s terrorism.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had to cut short his visit to the United States to return home as strikes intensified and the U.S. distanced itself from Israel’s offensive. While addressing the United Nations, Netanyahu vowed that Israel’s strikes would continue and that they would “continue degrading Hezbollah.”

Iran’s foreign minister also denounced the U.S. for its “complicity” in Israel’s war crimes. The U.S. has been a key supporter of Israel in its conflict with Gaza and has also called for a ceasefire.

Hezbollah has fired hundreds of rockets and missiles aimed at Tel Aviv; however, Israel’s air defense systems have ensured that the damage has been minimal.

The situation in Lebanon remains tense as Israel continues its offensive against Hezbollah, with casualties mounting and tensions escalating in the region.
