In a significant escalation of tensions, the Israeli military announced on Saturday that it had successfully carried out a large-scale air strike targeting Hezbollah's central headquarters in the southern suburbs of Beirut. The strike resulted in the death of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the long-time leader of Hezbollah who had held the position for 32 years.
Hezbollah later confirmed Nasrallah's death, marking the end of an era for the militant group. The air strikes have intensified concerns over the stability of the region and the potential for further conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.
On the ground in Beirut, the situation remains volatile as residents grapple with the aftermath of the strikes. CGTN Stringer provided on-the-ground coverage, capturing the latest developments and the impact on the local population.
