Israel’s military assassinated Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in airstrikes in Beirut, Lebanon, on Friday, the Israel Defense Forces confirmed. Hours later, Hezbollah acknowledged the killing of its leader.
An Israeli military spokesman said the strike targeted Hezbollah’s “central headquarters,” which was located “under residential buildings in the heart” of Dahiyeh, in Beirut. Videos circulated online of the destruction the airstrike caused, hours before word of Nasrallah’s death was confirmed.
