Israeli Airstrikes Pound Beirut, Hezbollah Chief Hassan Nasrallah Remains elusive: NDTV

In a dramatic turn of events, Israel launched a relentless bombardment on Beirut in a bid to target Hezbollah strongholds, but there was no sign of the elusive Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah. The airstrikes shook the Lebanese capital as Israel intensified its offensive against the Iran-backed militant group.

The Israeli military said it targeted Hezbollah infrastructure and weapons depots in the southern suburbs of Beirut, a known stronghold of the militant group. The airstrikes caused widespread panic and destruction, with reports of civilian casualties and damage to buildings.

Despite the heavy bombardment, there was no sign of Hassan Nasrallah, the charismatic leader of Hezbollah who has been in hiding for years. Nasrallah is a key figure in the region and has been a thorn in Israel’s side for decades, leading the militant group in its fight against the Jewish state.

The airstrikes come amid escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, with both sides exchanging threats and accusations in recent weeks. Israel has vowed to prevent Hezbollah from obtaining advanced weapons and has launched several airstrikes on Syria, where the militant group is believed to have a presence.

The latest escalation in violence has raised fears of a wider conflict in the region, with Lebanon already reeling from a severe economic crisis and political instability. The Lebanese government has condemned the Israeli airstrikes as a violation of its sovereignty and called for an immediate ceasefire.

As the situation continues to escalate, the international community is calling for restraint and dialogue to prevent a further escalation of violence. The fate of Hassan Nasrallah remains unknown, as Israel continues its relentless bombardment on Beirut in search of the elusive Hezbollah chief.
