Israel Targets Hezbollah Leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut

Only 24 minutes after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s UN speech, Israel targeted Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

No confirmation if Israel got him. I will update ASAP.

Nasrallah became Hezbollah’s leader in 1992 when Israel took out his predecessor Abbas al-Musawi.

Nasrallah is a secretive man, rarely seen since 2006 after Israel defeated his forces:

On July 12 2006, Hezbollah used rocket fire as a diversion for anti-tank missile attacks on an armored patrol in Israel, killing three and abducting two. The IDF immediately initiated a rescue operation, which escalated into the Second Lebanon. The Second Lebanon War in 2006 was the largest conflict between Israel and Hezbollah since Israeli forces left Lebanon in 2000. The war led to major destruction across southern Lebanon and the death of at least 600 Hezbollah fighters. Much like Hamas , Hezbollah exploited civilian shields and guerilla warfare, in direct contradiction of international law. Since the war ended, Hezbollah has worked to grow their missile arsenal, improve their military capabilities, and has become perhaps the best equipped terrorist organization in history.

No one knows where he lives. He delivers his speeches from a secret location.
