Live updates: Israel targets presumed new Hezbollah leader in massive Beirut strikes; Iran's leader issues warnings in rare speech

What we know

Israel launched intense strikes on Beirut targeting Hezbollah's presumed new leader as he met with other senior militants, an Israeli official told NBC News. The IDF is still assessing whether Hashem Safieddine was killed.

An Israeli airstrike cut off a key road that thousands of Lebanese had been using to cross into relative safety in Syria. Israel's bombardment has displaced more than a million people, filling government shelters, and forcing others to sleep in the streets of Beirut.

Iran’s supreme leader vowed his country and its allies would not back down after its "brilliant operation" against Israel as he delivered a rare sermon with a rifle by his side and led prayers commemorating Hezbollah's powerful leader Hassan Nasrallah.

President Joe Biden said he won’t "negotiate in public" with Israel over possible retaliatory targets for Iran's missile attack, but said he does not believe there will be "all-out war" in the Middle East.

At least 18 people were killed, including small children, in a rare Israeli airstrike in the West Bank city of Tulkarm that the IDF said killed the head of the Hamas network there.

Iran will target Israeli energy and gas installations if Israel attacks it, the semi-official Iranian news agency SNN quotes Revolutionary Guards deputy commander Ali Fadavi as saying.

“If the occupiers make such a mistake, we will target all their energy sources, installations, and all refineries and gas fields,” Fadavi said.

Israel should consider upping the rhetoric.

“If the women that currently rule Iran wish to target Israel’s critical infrastructure, we will be forced to do the same. Unlike the effeminate Iranian weapons, ours are accurate and strike their targets.”

Iran launched nearly 200 missiles at Israel and didn’t hit a damn thing, and killed one unfortunate Arab man who was hit by a falling missile casing.

Targeting an individual facility is not in their repertoire.............

“Time to topple Iran.”

There’s so little trustworthy info coming out of Iran. I wonder how the Iranian people feel about this?

Do they wanna get rid of the mullahs and the IRGC? Are they afraid to act because of retaliation?

Are the mullahs nervous? Are they suddenly asking themselves “Hmmm, maybe we bit off a bit more than we can chew?!”
