In a significant escalation, Israeli forces launched airstrikes early Saturday targeting areas in Beirut's southern suburb of Dahieh. The strikes resulted in the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, as announced by the movement on Saturday. Israel stated that the attacks were aimed at neutralizing Hezbollah weapons stored within civilian buildings.
Local resident Ahmad Ijaber expressed his anguish over the ongoing attacks, stating, \"They continued to bomb the targets with warships and planes, throwing tons of explosives on defenseless citizens without any justification, without any compassion for the children and women. The enemy army is committing massacres all over the south, from Bekaa to the southern suburbs.\"
The latest violence underscores the fragile security situation in southern Lebanon and raises concerns about potential further escalations in the region.
