The Israeli Defense Forces targeted Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in a "precise strike" Friday on the central headquarters of Hezbollah in Beirut, Lebanon. IDF spokesperson Rear admiral Daniel Hagari said the headquarters were intentionally built in the heart of the Dahieh in Beirut under residential buildings "as part of Hezbollah's strategy of using Lebanese people as human shields." At least two people were killed and dozens were wounded, Lebanon’s health ministry said. Video and images show plumes of smoke rising over Beirut following the Israeli strikes. Witnesses say they heard multiple strikes.

(Reuters) Fox News has learned the target of the attack was Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. A Hezbollah media relations official says Nasrallah is "fine and well" and was not at the location targeted in the IDF airstrikes. Hezbollah's al-Manar television reported that four buildings were destroyed and there were many casualties in the multiple strikes, which marked an escalation of Israel's conflict with the heavily armed, Iran-backed Hezbollah. Security sources in Lebanon said the attack targeted an area where top Hezbollah officials are usually based. It was the heaviest attack in Beirut in almost a year of conflict between Hezbollah and Israel.
