The Israeli army announced on Saturday that it had killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, following a large-scale attack on Lebanon.
The announcement was made by IDF spokesperson Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani on social media, confirming that Nasrallah was targeted during an airstrike on Hezbollah’s headquarters in Beirut on Friday.
The strike also resulted in the deaths of other Hezbollah commanders, including Ali Karki, the commander of the southern front.
The IDF described Nasrallah as the group’s “central decision-maker” and a significant threat to Israel.
Following the attack, the Israeli military acknowledged that it could not confirm civilian casualties, and military officials stated that the strike had been meticulously planned.
Israel’s opposition leader, Yair Lapid, praised the military for the operation, framing it as a major achievement for national security.
IDF Chief Herzi Halevi warned that this strike is not the end of Israel’s military actions, saying that further operations are planned against those who threaten Israeli citizens.
The Israeli military has escalated its campaign against Hezbollah, significantly increasing airstrikes in the region.
Hassan Nasrallah, who led Hezbollah for over three decades, transformed the group into a major paramilitary force in the Middle East.
Under his leadership, Hezbollah expanded its military capabilities, including a substantial arsenal of missiles and drones.
The Israeli military claims Nasrallah was responsible for numerous attacks against Israeli civilians and soldiers.
