Description

Footage captured in a southern Beirut suburb on Sunday appears to show a large crater reportedly left behind near the site of an Israeli airstrike on an underground Hezbollah compound which killed the Lebanese militant group’s Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah.

On Friday evening, Israel said it had "carried out a precise strike on the central headquarters of Hezbollah in the heart of Beirut's southern suburbs." A day later, they announced that the shelling had claimed the life of Nasrallah.

In a formal statement on Saturday, Hezbollah confirmed the death of Nasrallah, as well as other unnamed leaders.

Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Nasrallah's death 'settled the account' with a 'mass murderer', describing the Hezbollah leader as a terrorist and the 'central engine of Iran's axis of evil'.

On Monday (September 23), Israel announced the start of a campaign of airstrikes on Hezbollah positions dubbed 'Operation Northern Arrows'. The Lebanese Ministry of Health reported that these attacks have resulted in more than 1,030 deaths and left 6,300 people injured.

Tensions between the sides escalated in mid-September after a series of explosions of wireless communications devices used by Hezbollah left dozens dead and thousands injured. Hezbollah responded by launching hundreds of rockets into northern Israel.

Hezbollah, Lebanese, and Palestinian factions have been exchanging cross-border shelling with the Israeli forces since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.
