Dahiya has become the death trap of Hezbollah leaders and Commander. Israeli airstrikes kill Hezbollah leader Nasrallah but also 8 commanders of Hizbollah and a deputy commander of Iran.
Smoke rose from Beirut’s southern suburbs Saturday after the area was pummeled by heavy airstrikes that Israel said killed multiple Hezbollah commanders, including leader Hassan Nasraullah. The Lebanese militant group of its longtime leader, whose killing could dramatically reshape conflicts across the Middle East. Attacks on Hezbollah by fighter jets continued Saturday after the army said it told residents to evacuate three buildings it was targeting, as Israel braced for Hezbollah’s response.
.
Hours before the strikes, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed UN, vowing that Israel campaign against Hezbollah would continue further dimming hopes for an internationally backed ceasefire.. Netanyahu abruptly cut his United States visit short and returned to Israel.
More than 1,000 people have been killed in Lebanon since the conflict escalated less than two weeks ago, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry.
The United Nations says the number of those displaced by the conflict from southern Lebanon has more than doubled and now stands at more than 211,000. At least 20 primary healthcare centers have shut down in hard-hit areas of Lebanon, the U.N. Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said.
Iran’s supreme leader has said the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah "will not go unavenged", a day after he was killed in an Israeli air strike in Lebanon.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei announced five days of mourning in Iran in response to what he called the "martyrdom of the great Nasrallah", describing him as "a path and a school of thought" that would continue.
Iranian media reported that a Iranian Revolutionary Guards general was also killed in the Israeli strikes in Beirut on Friday.
Israel’s military said Nasrallah had "the blood of thousands... on his hands", and that it targeted him while he was "commanding more imminent attacks".
There are fears that the strike could plunge the wider region into war, after nearly a year of cross-border fighting between Israel and Hezbollah sparked by the 7 October attacks and war in the Gaza Strip.
Key to what happens next in the Middle East is what Ayatollah Khamenei decides.
So far, he and other senior Iranian figures have refrained from vowing to retaliate for the series of severe and humiliating blows that Israel has dealt Hezbollah in recent weeks, seemingly because Iran does not want a war with its arch-enemy.
Iran also has not carried out its threat to avenge the assassination's of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran in July. In this strike along with Hezbollah Chief and 7 other top commander who all were in a meeting, Iran's top commander has also been killed., which Iran and Hamas blamed on Israel.
Both Hezbollah and Hamas are designated as terrorist organizations by Israel, the US, UK and other countries.
Earlier on Saturday, Ayatollah Khamenei urged Muslims to stand by Hezbollah "with their resources and help" but did not promise to retaliate for the strike that killed Nasrallah.
"The fate of this region will be determined by the forces of resistance, with Hezbollah at the forefront," he said.
Reuters news agency meanwhile cited two regional officials as saying that the supreme leader had been transferred to a secure location inside Iran with heightened security measures. They also said Iran was in constant contact with Hezbollah and other allies to determine their next steps, according to the report.
Israel has now bombed 7 targets in Yamen. Russia has condemned the targets and threatened that these attacks will be avenged.
