Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah
The main target of the latest Israeli air strike on Beirut is said to be Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. The main headquarters is said to be located below the residential buildings.
Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari said:
He said: “Moments ago, the Israeli Defense Forces carried out a precise strike on the central headquarters of the Hezbollah terrorist organization, which served as the center of Hezbollah’s terrorism. The Hezbollah terrorist headquarters was deliberately built under residential buildings in the heart of Beirut.” This is within the framework of Hezbollah’s strategy of using human shields.”
Israel is going for the vein. If this doesn’t lead to retaliation nothing will.
This is part of an attack said to be the largest attack on Beirut since the beginning of the conflict.
Video clips appear Huge series of explosions.
to update: There are reports that Nasrallah was killed.
Update 2Sources in Hezbollah, reported by Sky News Arabia, say that Nasrallah is in a safe place
Update 3: Sky News Arabia has now deleted the post and Hezbollah now says it will not issue any statement. I’m speculating but that might mean he’s dead, injured, or they don’t know.
