NextImg:Israel Targeted Hezbollah’s Leader in a Strike Near Beirut

The Israeli military bombed multiple residential buildings outside of Beirut, the Lebanese capital, today that it said sat on top of the central headquarters of Hezbollah. The strikes appeared to have been the most intense in the area since the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah began last October. Here’s the latest.

The target of the strike was Hassan Nasrallah, the cleric who has led Hezbollah since 1992, according to Israeli and American officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity. It was not immediately clear whether Nasrallah had been killed.

Lebanon’s health minister said the bombing had caused the “complete decimation” of four to six residential buildings in the Dahiya, a group of crowded neighborhoods south of Beirut where Hezbollah dominates. At least two people were killed and 76 others were wounded, the health ministry said, though that toll is likely to rise because others are believed to be trapped under the rubble.

The attack came just after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel gave a defiant speech at the United Nations General Assembly, in which he defended his government’s handling of the wars in Gaza and Lebanon and vowed to continue fighting despite international calls for a cease-fire.
