Israeli warplanes launched a series of airstrikes on Hezbollah targets, including the group’s headquarters, raising questions about the fate of its leader, Hassan Nasrallah. The attacks began on Friday and continued into Saturday, with Israel claiming it was targeting sites used by the militant group to store weapons and plan attacks against Israel.
The airstrikes mark a significant escalation in tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, which has been designated as a terrorist organization by Israel and other countries. Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, has been a prominent figure in the Middle East for decades and is known for his fiery rhetoric against Israel.
The Israeli government has not confirmed whether Nasrallah was present at the headquarters during the airstrikes, leading to speculation about his whereabouts. The Israeli military said the airstrikes were a response to recent attacks by Hezbollah, including firing rockets into northern Israel. Israel has warned that it will not tolerate any aggression from Hezbollah and will continue to target the group’s infrastructure.
Hezbollah, for its part, has vowed to retaliate against Israel for the airstrikes, raising concerns about the potential for further escalation in the region. The group has a strong presence in Lebanon and is supported by Iran, which has also been a vocal critic of Israel.
The situation remains fluid, with both Israel and Hezbollah on high alert for any further developments. The international community has called for calm and restraint, urging both sides to avoid further violence and find a peaceful resolution to their longstanding conflict.
