The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that the leader of the Hezbollah terrorist organization, Hassan Nasrallah, was killed in a strike on the group's headquarters in Lebanon. The IDF targeted Nasrallah in the attack, which also resulted in the deaths of at least two other people and numerous injuries. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Hezbollah about Israel's right to go on the offensive and approved the operation against Nasrallah. Nasrallah's death is seen as a significant victory for Israel due to his close ties to Tehran and his operational control of Lebanon and Syria.
