Update(1750ET): Shortly after Israel’s military issued a video message warning Lebanese civilians in Beirut’s southern suburbs to evacuate key buildings which are to be targeted, a new IDF bombing campaign over the capital has commenced.
The IDF warned it would begin striking “Hezbollah assets” in southern Beirut in the ‘coming hours’ – according to an earlier Reuters report. The overnight operation has begun, amid widespread reports of loud explosions.
Reuters has claimed in a fresh news wire: Communication lost with Hezbollah’s senior leadership – source close to Hezbollah.

Nasrallah’s fate is still uncertain. Israeli media is widely speculating that he and his top deputies are dead. But as far as official statements from Hezbollah goes, there’s been silence. This has only heightened conjecture that he may have been killed in the earlier major strikes which destroyed several buildings in Dahieh. Hezbollah sources have only said that Israel has “crossed all red lines” in the attack.
IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari: “In the coming hours we are going to attack strategic targets of the Hezbollah terrorist organization in the Dahieh district in Beirut . This is an Iranian-funded coastal missile array, we are checking the results of the attack on Hezbollah’s central compound and will update accordingly.”
The Al-Laylaki area has already reportedly been hit.

Were American bombs used in Friday’s massive bombing of south Beirut? Likely it was US-provided bunker busters that left such massive craters.
There is intense focus on the fate of Nasrallah right now. These were massive American bombs Israel dropped on a densely populated residential area in Beirut and we still have no sense of how many people died. It’s going to be a very large number.

Update(1420): The last hour has seen a flurry of contradictory reports concerning who may have been killed in the largescale Israeli airstrikes on the southern suburbs of Beirut Friday evening.
Some Israeli reports are claiming Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah was killed or at least injured. Other reports claim his top deputy was taken out. At least six buildings were leveled in the attack.
