In a significant and strategic move, Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced that Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was killed in a series of targeted airstrikes in Beirut. The airstrikes, which shook the Lebanese capital on Saturday morning, were aimed at Hezbollah’s central headquarters, reportedly embedded under residential buildings in the Dahieh district.
Israel’s military carried out what it described as a "precise strike," aimed directly at Hezbollah’s top leadership. Alongside Nasrallah, several other senior Hezbollah commanders, including Ali Karaki, commander of the southern front, were also confirmed killed. The strike comes as part of Israel's ongoing efforts to dismantle Hezbollah's leadership and operational capabilities.
Initial reports from Lebanon's health ministry indicate that six other people were killed, and 91 wounded during the airstrikes. Although Hezbollah has not yet issued an official statement regarding Nasrallah’s fate, Israel confirmed his death after initial confusion over his condition.
This operation marks a continuation of Israel’s intensified campaign against Hezbollah, following weeks of escalating conflict along its northern border with Lebanon. With Nasrallah’s elimination, the Israeli government stressed that this is a significant blow to Hezbollah’s capacity to terrorize the region and the world.
Part of the Total Victory
The elimination of Hassan Nasrallah is a critical achievement in Israel's Total Victory strategy, aimed at eradicating threats from terrorist organizations like Hezbollah. This operation represents more than just a military success—it symbolizes Israel’s unwavering commitment to securing peace, safety, and sovereignty by neutralizing the sources of terror that threaten its people.
