An Israeli military operation in Beirut on Friday targeted a location based on intelligence indicating the presence of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. A former senior Israeli official emphasized that such a significant attack would only occur if there was a high level of certainty regarding Nasrallah's presence.
A current Israeli official confirmed that Nasrallah was indeed the intended target of the strike. The Israeli military is currently working to confirm whether Nasrallah was killed in the operation.
The attack unleashed a series of explosions in a densely populated area of Lebanon's capital, resulting in the destruction of several buildings. The strikes led to the tragic loss of at least two lives and left dozens of individuals injured, as reported by Lebanon's health ministry.
The incident has escalated tensions in the region and raised concerns about the potential repercussions of targeting such a high-profile figure. Nasrallah's role within Hezbollah and his influence in the region make him a significant figure in the ongoing geopolitical landscape.
