Beirut (Lebanon),: Passenger planes could be seen taking off over the skyline of Beirut’s southern suburb of Dahiyeh on September 28 evening, after Israeli jets pummeled the Hezbollah-held stronghold in the Lebanese capital.
Strikes continued on Beirut’s southern suburbs throughout the early evening on Saturday, sending large clouds of smoke over the city.
The Israeli military said on Saturday it had eliminated Nasrallah in the strike on the group’s central command headquarters in Beirut’s southern suburbs on Friday (September 27). Hezbollah confirmed he had been killed, without saying how.
Late on Friday, Israeli military spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said Israeli air force planes were “patrolling the area of the Beirut airport” and would not allow “hostile flights with weapons to land” there.
