Israel bombs Beirut: LIVE UPDATES

Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah was reportedly the target of the latest IDF raid on the Lebanese capital

The Israel Defense Forces have conducted a new wave of strikes in Lebanon, allegedly targeting the infrastructure of the Hezbollah movement, including the organization's central headquarters in a residential area of Beirut.

According to media reports, the main target of the attack in Beirut was the top leader of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah.

West Jerusalem confirmed bombing an underground compound belonging to the militant group in the Dahiyeh suburb of Beirut but did not confirm or deny that Nasrallah was the primary target.

Sources cited by Iran’s Tasnim news agency and Reuters reported that Nasrallah was safe, but Israeli media maintain that the Hezbollah leader was likely killed in the strike.
