Israel launched fresh strikes on Beirut again this afternoon after killing Hezbollah boss Hassan Nasrallah and a senior Iranian commander in an attack on Friday that has rocked the region and threatens drastic escalation.
The Israeli military said late Saturday afternoon it had carried out an air strike in the Dahieh area of Beirut - the same district targeted in the strike on Hezbollah's headquarters in the city yesterday.
Israeli military chief Herzi Halevi acknowledged that 'challenging days await' for Israel after confirming the death of Hezbollah's secretary-general, with Iran and Hezbollah's allies vowing revenge.
'We are determined to continue destroying the Hezbollah terrorist organisation and to keep fighting,' he said on Saturday.
'We have more missions ahead on all fronts – destroying terrorist organisations and their capabilities, returning our hostages.
Confirming Hassan Nasrallah's death today, Hezbollah pledged to keep fighting Israel - saying that the leader had 'joined his fellow martyrs'.
They said in a statement: 'The leadership of Hezbollah pledges... to continue its jihad in confronting the enemy, supporting Gaza and Palestine, and defending Lebanon and its steadfast and honorable people.'
And Iran's Supreme Leader pledged that 'all regional resistance forces' would support Hezbollah, demanding a 'strong' response to the attack.
Israel defended its operations in Lebanon today, amid growing pressure from its allies to de-escalate, claiming that it had thwarted a Hezbollah plot to carry out an attack similar to October 7. Hezbollah has not commented.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Looks like all the top commanders are dead
Remember the look on captain Pietts face when Darth Vader promoted him to admiral in Star Wars?
That’s the feeling of any “mid level” Hezbollah commander now
So what I don’t understand is why does Lebanon not complain when their civilians also get killed?
I’m not saying I don’t support Israel killing the terrorists but just curious of Lebanon. Are they good with Israel doing this?
Earlier post said one top commander is at large.

They are all martyrs and are safely in Paradise - what’s to complain about?
They are powerless. And they are complicit.
Hit ‘em ‘til they stop twitching.
i bet all of the hezbollah terrorists are excited about their field promotions
Good work, Israel.
Good riddance, Nasrallah. Enjoy the heat.
“So what I don’t understand is why does Lebanon not complain when their civilians also get killed?”
There is still a significant enough Maronite Christian population (30%) who are mostly pro-Israel (think of the civil war which the PLO precipitated (1975-90). Unfortunately from Syria’s screwing up and undermining the Lebanese elections to the Jihading of the Hez psychos and the implicit support of the Islamic population the Lebanese Christian pop have become the de facto dhimmi population there.
AP forgot “an austere religious scholar”.
Hezbollah is pretty much dismantled..all they have left are a few useless douche bags and of course their rockets, which Israel is currently destroying bit by bit..what Israel has been able to accomplish these last few weeks has been nothing short of pure brilliance
His virgins are obviously looking forward to his arrival...
If the Leb army has any christians now would be the time to strike against Hez and het rid of them once and for all.
“Hezbollah has not commented.”
Hard to do with no cellphones/pagers and no fingers!
Go, BiBi! GO! Finish this once and for all!
Much wailing and gnashing of teeth by the DC demonrats as they watch their terrorist brethren be eliminated.
