Israel military claimed on Saturday that it killed Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah as strikes continue on the southern suburbs of Beirut.
In a post on X, the Israeli Defence Forces said: "Hassan Nasrallah will no longer be able to terrorize the world."
"Hassan Nasrallah is dead," military spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshani announced on X. Military spokesman Captain David Avraham also confirmed that the Hezbollah chief had been "eliminated" following strikes Friday on the Lebanese capital.

A source close to Lebanon's Hezbollah group said contact with Nasrallah had been lost since Friday evening.
"Contact with Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has been lost since Friday evening," said the source, requesting anonymity to discuss sensitive matters. He did not confirm whether Nasrallah had been killed.
Israel on high alert
Soon after the announcement, a military spokesperson said Israel is on high alert for a broader conflict, as strikes continued on the Lebanese capital.
"We hope this will change Hezbollah's actions," Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshani said in a media briefing after the military confirmed it had killed Nasrallah.
But he said there was still a way to go in degrading Hezbollah's capabilities.
Following the reports of Nasrallah killing, Iran said it is in constant contact with Hezbollah and regional allies to determine the "next step".
Hezbollah said that it had targeted Israeli sites including Rosh Pina in the north with missiles in response to Israeli attacks on Lebanese cities, villages and civilians.
Meanwhile, Israeli jets bombarded the southern suburbs of Beirut Saturday, sending panicked families fleeing.
Israel said it was attacking the militant group's headquarters and weapons facilities in Beirut, and Israeli and US media reported Nasrallah was the target of strikes Friday night.
The blasts that rocked southern Beirut Friday were the fiercest to hit the group's stronghold since Israel and Hezbollah last went to war in 2006.
