Israel carried out what it said were multiple airstrikes on the main military headquarters of Hezbollah in the southern suburbs of Beirut, with Israeli media claiming that the leader of Hezbollah,
Hassan Nasrallah, was present at the time of the strike – though the Guardian could not verify this claim. It was not immediately clear if Nasrallah was killed in the strike or not.
If true, the targeting of Nasrallah would be a large escalation in fighting between Hezbollah-Israel, already teetering on the precipice of a full-scale war.
