Israel launched a series of airstrikes of unprecedented intensity on the southern suburbs of Beirut on Friday, targeting Hezbollah headquarters. According to the Israeli army, these strikes targeted leaders of the powerful Shiite militia, in particular its emblematic leader, Hassan Nasrallah, who could be injured or even dead. The operation, described as a “precise strike” by Israeli spokesman Daniel Hagari, caused massive destruction. Several residential buildings were completely razed, leaving scenes of devastation and columns of smoke rising above the Lebanese capital.
While sources close to Hezbollah, relayed by several Lebanese and international media, affirm that Hassan Nasrallah is unhurt, the question of his fate remains surrounded by uncertainty. An anonymous source, cited by AFP, declared that “Sayed Nasrallah is doing well.” However, other testimonies, relayed by certain media, leave doubt. A source on site tells Entrevue that it is possible that Nasrallah is still under the rubble, injured or dead.
Rescue teams are still searching for survivors in the ruins of destroyed buildings, and no official confirmation has been given on Nasrallah’s condition. While uncertainty remains, some observers wonder whether this Israeli strike could have marked a decisive turning point in the conflict. Hassan Nasrallah, a key figure in Hezbollah and a close ally of Iran, has been a long-time target for Israel. If the strike had achieved its objective, it could have major consequences on the balance of power in Lebanon and on the dynamics of the regional conflict.
Israel, for its part, continues to monitor the situation closely, trying to verify whether its main adversary has been hit. For now, speculation continues, and the area remains cordoned off while searches continue in the rubble of the strikes. Could it be possible that Hassan Nasrallah is injured or even dead? Only the time and efforts of rescuers will provide a definitive answer to this crucial question.
