STORYLINE:
Smoke was still rising on Sunday from the rubble of buildings destroyed on Friday by Israeli strikes in the suburbs of Beirut.
Hezbollah said on Saturday that its leader, Hassan Nasrallah had been killed in an Israeli airstrike that hit the group's headquarters.
The killing of the powerful militant group’s longtime leader sent shockwaves throughout Lebanon and the Middle East, where he has been a dominant political and military figure for more than three decades.
Nasrallah, linked by Israel to numerous deadly attacks on Israeli and Jewish targets, had been on Israel’s kill list for decades.
His assassination is by far the biggest and most consequential of Israel’s targeted killings in years, and significantly escalates the war in the Middle East.
Hezbollah is backed by Iran, Israel's chief regional rival.
The Israeli military said it carried out a precise airstrike on Friday while Hezbollah leaders were meeting at their headquarters in Dahiyeh, south of Beirut.
The Lebanese Health Ministry said six people were killed and 91 injured in the strikes Friday that leveled six apartment buildings.
Ali Karki, the commander of Hezbollah’s Southern Front, and other commanders were also killed, the Israeli military said
Over 700 people have been killed in Israeli strikes over the last week.
