Israeli planes dropped more than 80 bombs in a few minutes in Lebanon to kill Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah, the New York Times reports, citing two senior Israeli military officers.
“In a few minutes more than 80 bombs were dropped to kill Nasrullah,” the newspaper writes.
In a video released by the Israeli military of air raids to carry out attacks in Lebanon on the day of Nasrullah’s assassination, the newspaper counted at least fifteen 910-kilogram BLU-109 bunker-buster bombs.
According to the newspaper’s findings, as a result of the attack on the southern suburbs of Beirut, Israeli planes destroyed at least four apartment buildings at least seven stories high.
Earlier, Hezbollah confirmed the death of its secretary general, Hassan Nasrallah, as a result of an Israeli airstrike in the southern suburbs of Beirut.
Tensions in the Middle East are growing amid statements by the Israeli military about preparations for a ground operation in Lebanon.
