Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah killed after Beirut airstrikes, Israeli army says

BEIRUT,  Lebanon 

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has been killed after airstrikes in Beirut, the Israeli army has said.

Recent weeks have seen Israel unleash a barrage of strikes against Lebanon after it turned its attention to the conflict at its northern border.

On Saturday, Israel targeted the capital Beirut with a series of attacks claiming to have struck the central headquarters of Hezbollah.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it carried out a "precise strike" on Hezbollah's headquarters, which it said was "embedded under residential buildings in the heart of the Dahieh in Beirut".

The first wave of attacks shook windows across the city and sent thick clouds of smoke billowing into the air.

Preliminary figures from Lebanon's health ministry confirmed at least six other people were killed and 91 were wounded.
