IDF GOES AFTER HIZBULLAH CHIEF

IDF destroys Nasrallah’s Beirut headquarters (YNet)
The Israeli Air Force continued bombarding targets deep in Lebanese territory Friday evening. At around 8 p.m. a cloud of smoke was seen rising from an 11-storey building in the Bir-Hassan area, a Shiite stronghold in Beirut where Hizbullah Chief Hassan Nasrallah’s headquarters is located.

However, Nasrallah himself was apparently not in the building at the time of the attack. A Hizbullah spokesman confirmed that Nasrallah was not hurt in the attack, nor was his family or entourage. Nasrallah’s residence is located inside the complex that was attacked by the IAF, and IDF sources said two buildings were destroyed in the attack.

The objective, army sources clarified, was not to assassinate Nasrallah.
