Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah killed by Israeli airstrike in Lebanon's capital Beirut
The Friday strikes leveled multiple high-rise apartment buildings in the biggest blasts to hit the Lebanese capital since Hezbollah started firing on Israel on Oct. 8, 2023, in response to Israel launching its war on the group's Hamas allies in the Gaza Strip.
At least 11 people were killed and 108 were wounded, Lebanon's health ministry said. The toll may rise, the ministry said, as people are believed to be buried under the rubble. The shock wave rattled windows and shook houses some 18 miles north of Beirut, and TV footage showed several craters — one with a car toppled into it — amid collapsed buildings in the densely populated, predominantly Shiite neighborhood.
A senior general in Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps was also reportedly killed in the strike, Iranian state media said Saturday. General Abbas Nilforoushan, 58, had been identified as the deputy commander for operations by the U.S. Treasury. The treasury sanctioned Nilforoushan amid the monthslong protests over the death of Mahsa Amini after her arrest and death in custody, saying that he led an organization "directly in charge of protest suppression."
