The Israel i military has said it has killed Hezbollah ’s leader, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah , in a series of strikes on the group’s underground headquarters in Beirut.Defense Forces on Saturday morning came after overnight speculation about the fate of Nasrallah, following the strikes in Dahieh, a southern suburb of the Lebanese capital. The death of the Hezbollah leader, who has led the Iran -backed group for three decades, will mark a major escalation in the crisis in the Middle East.
Reports in the Israeli media said the assassination had been carried out by a squadron of F15I jets equipped with bunker-busting bombs although Israel refused to comment on claims they were US-supplied type 84 munitions.The news was initially broken by the military spokesperson Lt Col Nadav Shoshani in a brief post on X saying: “Hassan Nasrallah is dead.”
