The strike on Friday that killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah required long-term planning and coordination of “precise intelligence,” according to the IDF.

The afternoon operation was carried out by fighter jets that targeted Hezbollah’s “central headquarters,” which were “embedded under a residential building” in a suburb of Beirut. This area has long been a stronghold of the Lebanese terror group.

Nasrallah assumed the leadership of Hezbollah 30 years ago. He was responsible, with the help of Iran, for the growth of the terror group to one of the largest non-state militaries in the region.

In a statement Saturday, Israeli Army Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi said Nasrallah’s killing proved that “anyone who threatens the citizens of Israel — we will know how to reach them.”

 Brig.-Gen. Amichai Levine, the newly appointed commander of Hatzerim Airbase, said the mission to eliminate Nasrallah required the Israeli Air Force’s unique, world-class capabilities.
