10 buildings have been leveled, was definitely a bunker buster. Reports also saying multiple f35s hit the designated targets, around 2000 tons of explosives. Collateral damage is gonna be huge with this one..
Edit: 2000 tons is not accurate

The target was apparently Nasrallah, who supposedly rid himself of all electronic devices and isolated himself underground due to his paranoia
If they got him that’s pretty wild.
The civilian collateral will likely be huge and I think it’s really important to also mention how horrible it is that anybody innocent had to die for this
EDIT: Hez is now telling all media that he’s alive and well but well but nobody knows if it’s true yet
EDIT 2: Israel is saying he was either killed or injured. Okayyyyyy
EDIT 3: IDF is saying they got him

> BEIRUT – The Israeli military said Friday it struck the central headquarters of Hezbollah in Beirut, where a series of massive explosions leveled multiple buildings, sending clouds of orange and black smoke billowing in the skies.
> The strikes in the suburbs south of Lebanon's capital came shortly after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the U.N., vowing that Israel's campaign against Hezbollah would continue.
> In Gaza, Israel has vowed to dismantle Hamas' military and political regime, but the goal in Lebanon is just to push Hezbollah away from the border with Israel – "Not a high bar like Gaza" in terms of operational objectives, said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to military briefing guidelines.
If Israel keeps this up, pretty soon, hezbollah members will have no choice but to flee to their Iranian masters for safe refuge.

F Hezzbolah and all but Netanyahu is a clown who is going to drag us in to a new war. In fact I fully think he is trying to just to save his own corrupt ass and crossing his fingers it throws the election to Trump.
>Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has called an emergency meeting of the Supreme National Security Council at his home compound, according to two Iranian officials with knowledge of the meeting. They said the meeting was in response to Israel’s strike in Beirut that targeted the leader of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah.

Why isn’t this being seen as big news? It seems only BBC/CNN reporting here in my country.
