Israel attacks Hezbollah’s central headquarters in Beirut

The Israeli military launched a targeted strike on Hezbollah’s headquarters in Beirut, resulting in the largest explosion in the Lebanese capital this year. Reports suggest that the strike aimed at Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, who remains in hiding. At least two people were killed and many injured in the attack, which sent plumes of smoke into the sky. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu abruptly cut short his US visit in response to the strike, indicating its significance. The IDF declined to confirm if Nasrallah was the target, but the size of the blasts suggests a senior leader was present. Israel’s intensified campaign against Hezbollah has included airstrikes aimed at eliminating the group’s leadership, with the possibility of a ground invasion looming. The strikes have killed over 720 people in Lebanon, including civilians, sparking concerns over escalating violence in the region. Netanyahu’s vow to continue the campaign against Hezbollah has dampened hopes for a ceasefire. As tensions rise and casualties mount, the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah shows no signs of abating, with the potential for further military escalation.
