The Iran-backed Hezbollah has yet to issue any statement on the status of Nasrallah, its leader for 32 years.
"The strike was conducted while Hezbollah’s senior chain of command were operating from the headquarters and advancing terrorist activities against the citizens of the State of Israel," it said.Friday's airstrike on Dahiyeh shook Beirut. A security source in Lebanon said the attack - a quick succession of massively powerful blasts - had left a crater at least 20 meters deep.
