Nasrallah safe following Israeli airstrikes

Hezbollah security sources have informed Press TV that Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, leader of the resistance movement, is in a secure location and has not been harmed by the recent Israeli airstrikes on the southern suburbs of Beirut.

This statement follows rumors circulating on social media suggesting that Nasrallah was targeted during the Israeli regime's large aerial assault on the Dahiya neighborhood of southern Beirut on Friday.

Six buildings were razed to the ground as a result of the Israeli aggression on the southern suburb of Beirut.

The Israeli army radio said that F-35 aircraft carried out the aggression using bunker-buster bombs.

Israeli media reports said the regime had informed the United States of the attack shortly before it was carried out.

Lebanese media said civil defense personnel were working to extinguish the fire that broke out in the area and evacuate the injured.

Lebanese caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati reacted to the attack, saying the international community must deter the Israeli enemy and stop its tyranny and the war of extermination it is waging against Lebanon.

Mikati said the Israeli attack shows the regime’s lack of interest in international calls for a ceasefire.


 

 Israeli warplanes have launched massive airstrikes on the southern suburb of Dahiyeh in Beirut on Friday, resulting in loud explosions that reverberated across the city.

Hezbollah’s Al-Manar TV said more than 15 missiles struck the area at the same moment.

Thick plumes of smoke were visible rising from the sites of the strikes, which reportedly targeted at least four buildings.

This attack has raised concerns about potential high casualties among civilians.

The Israeli military characterized the operation as a "precise strike" aimed at the central headquarters of Hezbollah, located within densely populated civilian neighborhoods.

In a televised statement, Daniel Hagari of the Israeli military said this "central command center" was deeply embedded in residential areas.

Since dawn, at least 25 civilians have been reported killed due to Israeli airstrikes, with Lebanon's Health Ministry indicating that nearly 700 people have lost their lives in the country this week alone.

Israel has been conducting near-daily attacks on southern Lebanon since October 7, 2023, when the regime launched its campaign of death, destruction and genocide in the besieged Gaza Strip.

Hezbollah has been responding. Its strikes are meant to both retaliate and support the war-hit Gazans.

The regime has repeatedly threatened to expand its attacks into another wholesale military onslaught against the country.

Hezbollah has vowed to defend the Lebanese soil with all its resources.

Two Israeli wars waged against Lebanon in 2000 and 2006 were met with strong resistance from Hezbollah, resulting in the retreat of the regime in both conflicts.

Lebanon's official sources announced that the Zionist regime's attack on south Beirut has so far left two martyrs and 76 wounded.
