The brutal bombardment in Beirut, Bekaa valley and other regions of Lebanon by Israeli forces on Saturday has killed 33 people, including top Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, reported new agency ANI. The Israeli air strikes have also wounded 195 people and displaced thousands as they flee southern Lebanon to avoid bombings which have continued since Friday.
Israel confirmed the death of influential Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on Saturday, in operation ‘New Order' wherein they launched strikes in Beirut on Friday, levelling seven buildings and killing six people.
In a post on X, Israel army wrote,“Hassan Nasrallah will no longer be able to terrorize the world.” US President Joe Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris have backed Israel in the killing of Nasrallah, stating that justice had been done for many victims of the Hezbollah.
Iran on the other hand has condemned the killing of Nasrallah and has called for a UN Security Council meeting to stop Israel's strikes in Lebanon and other areas in the region.
Israel claimed to have hit more than 140 Hezbollah “terror targets” in Lebanon on Saturday, including Hassan Nasrallah and other Hezbollah commanders such as Muhammad Ali Ismail, along with his deputy, Hossein Ahmed Ismail.
