The Israeli military targeted Hezbollah’s central headquarters in Beirut, causing destruction and casualties. Reports suggest that Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was the target, but he is reportedly safe. The attack was a major escalation in the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.
Several buildings were destroyed, and rescue teams were seen searching for survivors amidst the rubble. The Israeli military justified the attack, claiming the headquarters were embedded in civilian areas. This strike followed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s vow to continue attacks on Iranian-backed fighters in Lebanon.
The escalation has displaced over 100,000 people in Lebanon, adding to the already high number of casualties. The conflict between Israel and Hezbollah has raised fears of a more destructive war in the region. Mr. Netanyahu’s strong stance at the UN General Assembly indicated Israel’s determination to protect its citizens.
As the situation continues to unfold, talks over ceasefire proposals will continue. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
