Lebanon: Hassan Nasrallah killed in Israeli airstrike on Beirut

The Israeli air force destroyed Hezbollah's underground headquarters in Beirut's southern suburbs with a series of bunker-buster bombs, killing secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah and most of the senior military command alongside him. Nasrallah had led the party for 32 years. The strike came nine days after the pager attack and roughly a week of escalating Israeli strikes; ground operations into south Lebanon followed within days.
