Hezbollah vowed to continue its fight against Israel, stating its commitment to support Gaza and Palestine while defending Lebanon. The Israeli military reported that the strike targeted Hezbollah’s underground headquarters in Dahiyeh, a Hezbollah stronghold in Beirut’s southern suburbs, killing Nasrallah along with other top commanders.
The airstrike resulted in widespread damage, creating a large crater and leading to further evacuations in the area. Following the initial attack, additional Israeli airstrikes occurred across Lebanon, with Hezbollah responding with rocket fire into Israel, though no immediate casualties from these rockets were reported.
