Israel has conducted its most intense airstrike on Beirut in nearly a year, targeting what it claims is the central headquarters of Hezbollah. The attack resulted in the destruction of several buildings in the southern suburbs of the city. Witnesses reported hearing six powerful explosions throughout the Lebanese capital on Friday afternoon, with large clouds of smoke visible from as far away as Batroun, located about an hour's drive from Beirut. Reports indicate that the strike may have aimed at Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, and the military is currently assessing whether he was affected by the attack.
