Israel bombs Hezbollah headquarters targeting the militant group’s leader

The Israeli military struck Hezbollah’s headquarters in Beirut on Saturday with a series of massive airstrikes, apparently targeting the militant group’s leader, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.

At least nine people were killed and 91 were wounded in the attack. It was the biggest blast to hit the Lebanese capital in the past year and appeared likely to push the escalating conflict closer to full-fledged war, reported news agency AP.
