Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has survived an Israeli airstrike in Beirut, according to a source close to the leader. The strike targeted the central headquarters of Hezbollah, raising concerns about Nasrallah’s safety. Despite Israeli officials stating it was unlikely he survived, Nasrallah’s continued presence is a blow to Israeli claims.
Israel has claimed to have targeted Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in a ‘precise strike’, escalating tensions in the ongoing conflict with the Lebanese armed group. The Israeli military also reported the elimination of a Hezbollah missile unit commander and his deputy, alongside other operatives. The US is monitoring the situation closely, with President Biden receiving updates on the developments. The strike has sparked outrage from Iran, who called it a ‘reprehensible crime’ and a ‘reckless behaviour’.
