Reuters, citing sources involved in the operation, reported that the body of former Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah has been discovered and the wreckage of an Israeli air strike in Beirut retrieved.

Israel executed a precise strike at an underground bunker where Nasrallah and numerous other Hezbollah leaders were convening after months of preparation and numerous intelligence inputs. The bunker was situated 60 feet beneath a busy street in southern Beirut.

Nasrallah, who was 64 years old, was the leader of the most influential paramilitary organization in the world, which was also designated as a terrorist organization by the United States. At this critical juncture, the organization is currently without a clear successor. It remains to be determined whether his death will serve as a catalyst for a full-scale conflict between the two nations, which could potentially escalate into a conflict between Iran and the United States.

The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) have escalated their strikes within Lebanon in recent weeks. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asserts that the attacks are intended to eliminate the terror organization Hezbollah, which is purportedly engaged in the preparation of an attack on Israeli civilians.

Israel today claimed to have killed Nabil Kaouk, another high-ranking Hezbollah official, just one day after killing Hassan Nasrallah. From 1995 to 2010, Kaouk was the military commander of Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.

Israel and Hezbollah have engaged in nearly daily strikes since the Israel-Hamas war commenced on October 7, following the Palestinian militant group’s incursion into Israel, which sparked concerns about a potential Middle East conflict.

The United Nations has reported that the number of individuals who have been displaced by the conflict from southern Lebanon has more than doubled, and is currently over 211,000.
