according to cctv news, on the 28th local time, the israel defense forces issued the latest statement stating that lebanese hezbollah leader nasrallah was killed in an israeli air strike. hezbollah later issued a statement confirming nasrallah's death. the governments of iran, iraq and other countries strongly condemned israel's attacks, and the hamas organization issued a statement expressing "absolute solidarity and stand with the brothers hezbollah."

during his 32 years in charge of hezbollah, nasrallah escaped israeli bombings and assassinations many times.

israel also announced the elimination of nasrallah in 2006, but three days later hezbollah released nasrallah's latest speech as a "slap in the face". in recent years, nasrallah has become more reclusive and never shows his face in public. the way he communicates with the lebanese is to record videos of speeches in confidential locations and then release them to the public. but even so, the israeli intelligence agency mossad always seems to be able to grasp the dynamics of hezbollah's top leaders. mossad has also claimed that it has the ability to "eliminate nasrallah" at any time.

it is reported that hezbollah’s headquarters is located in haret hereqzhen, a suburb of dahiya in southern beirut. this is an area that has traditionally supported hezbollah and has a large shia population. however, before the israeli attack, ordinary local residents did not it is clear that this building is the command center of hezbollah. according to local lebanese media reports, four buildings collapsed during the attack. the explosion could be heard 30 kilometers north of beirut. many windows of residents in the city were shattered, recalling the scenes of the 2006 lebanese-israeli war.

after the smoke dissipated, people discovered a huge crater on the ground. it was later learned that israel had used the latest model of 5,000-pound (approximately 2,300 kilograms) heavy bombs to ensure that it could penetrate underground bunkers.

according to israeli media reports, the attack was carried out by the 119th "bat" squadron of the israeli air force, using f-16i sufa jet fighters to dump tons of ammunition on the target. lebanese media claimed that the israeli army fired at least 10 missiles at the target.

on the 27th, israeli prime minister netanyahu was preparing to attend the united nations general assembly in new york. he received a notice a few hours before taking the stage to give a speech. military intelligence showed that the opportunity to get rid of nasrallah was coming. netanyahu the order for the attack, codenamed "new order," was given in the hotel room.

nasrallah upset as high-level details revealed

death of hezbollah's southern commander brings major blow

previously, an iranian envoy arrived in beirut immediately after taleb sami abdullah, the commander of hezbollah's nasser forces, was killed in an israeli attack. instead of going to nasrallah's office, however, he met with nasrallah's cronies in a closed room. it is reported that the main topic of the meeting was: iran is worried that israel will now target nasrallah himself. hezbollah also has the same concerns. although hezbollah was actually quite confident in the past many years and believed that israel did not have the ability and desire to get rid of nasrallah, taleb's death made hezbollah realize the seriousness of the problem.

although the media and academic circles in beirut had never heard of taleb's name before, a pro-hezbollah media bluntly stated that "taleb's death has dealt a major blow to hezbollah."

taleb is in charge of the armed forces in southern lebanon. if the war enters a critical stage, he will direct hezbollah's forces to launch attacks in northern and even central israel. the fact that the israeli army was able to eliminate taleb and three of his close deputies in one fell swoop during the working meeting proved that they knew the inside story of hezbollah's top leaders.

former mossad director cohen once publicly stated: "if the decision is made to ask nasrallah to clean up the general ledger, we can do it at any given time. no matter how he strengthens security or changes locations, our people there is a way to find him."

in addition, what upsets nasrallah is that israel will also announce some news about the successors of hezbollah leaders to familiarize the lebanese people with the young forces within hezbollah that are capable of succeeding nasrallah. nasrallah felt his authority was being challenged.

hezbollah says it built specially built houses to store ammunition

israel strives to fight 'image war' in lebanon

the second wave of israeli attacks on beirut on the evening of the 27th cleared a residential building where hezbollah was said to be hiding ammunition. hezbollah denied this.

in a series of operations in recent days, the israeli military claimed to have eliminated more than 2,000 hezbollah weapons and equipment storage facilities. the israeli military stated that hezbollah hid a large amount of its firepower reserves in residential areas and reserved them for launch at critical moments in the war. the israeli army's mission was to "expose hezbollah's strategies to the world."

▲the israeli military said hezbollah hid long-range missiles in residential buildings

israeli media reported that hezbollah would pay rent to local poor shia residents to store long-range missiles with heavy bomb heads. generally speaking, residents are willing to accept this rent to improve their lives. this approach makes it difficult for israel to fully understand where the weapons are stored, and it also makes it difficult for israel to launch large-scale operations in densely populated residential areas.

later, this model even "upgraded" to a newer version, in which hezbollah would build a special house and then invite the poor to move in for free or only charge a small nominal rent. this kind of house has a special roof that can be fully opened in a few minutes. this is equivalent to the fact that in wartime, such a residential house can be transformed into a "missile silo", making it difficult for israel to guard against it.

for the israeli army, they hope to change the bad impression brought to the outside world in gaza and minimize the harm to lebanese civilians. before the attack on the hezbollah headquarters on the 27th, israeli military spokesman avichai adre issued a notice through the x platform (formerly twitter), asking local residents to stay at least 500 meters away from three specific buildings. this is the first time such a notice has been received in the densely populated neighborhood of southern beirut. adre also promised that evacuated residents would be able to return to their homes soon after the attack was completed.

despite israel's efforts in carrying out its "image project," lebanese people don't seem to buy it. before an operation, israel notified residents of more than 60 towns in southern lebanon to evacuate, but most people stayed there and continued farming. an old lebanese man said that he was tired of the endless war and would rather stay quietly at home and wait for his fate.
