Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah killed by Israeli airstrike in Lebanon's
capital Beirut
A predawn strike Friday in the mainly Sunni border town of
Chebaa hit a home, killing nine members of the same family, the state news
agency said. A resident identified the dead as Hussein Zahra, his wife Ratiba,
their five children and two of their grandchildren.
The scope of Israel's
operation in Lebanon remains unclear, but officials have said a ground invasion
to push the militant group away from the border is a possibility. Israel has
moved thousands of troops toward the border in preparation.
Hopes for
cease-fires dwindle
In a possible early sign of the strikes' significance,
Netanyahu abruptly cut short a visit to the United States to return home on
Friday instead of waiting until the end of Sabbath on Saturday evening, his
office said. Israeli politicians do not normally travel on the Sabbath except
for matters of great import.
Hours earlier, Netanyahu addressed the U.N.,
vowing that Israel's campaign against Hezbollah would continue — further dimming
hopes for an internationally backed cease-fire. Several delegates stood up and
walked out before he gave his address.
The Pentagon said the U.S. had no
advance warning of the strikes.
The White House said President Biden was
briefed by his national security team "several times" on Friday and "has
directed the Pentagon to assess and adjust as necessary U.S. force posture in
the region to enhance deterrence, ensure force protection, and support the full
range of U.S. objectives. He has also directed his team to ensure that U.S.
embassies in the region take all protective measures as appropriate."

"The events of the past
week and the past few hours underscore what a precarious moment this is for the
Middle East and for the world," Secretary of State Antony Blinken said at a news
conference Friday in New York, before Israel announced Nasrallah's death.
"Israel has the right to defend itself against terrorism. The way it does so
matters. The choices that all parties make in the coming days will determine
which path this region is on, with profound consequences for its people now and
possibly for years to come."
At the U.N., Netanyahu vowed to "continue
degrading Hezbollah" until Israel achieves its goals. His comments dampened
hopes for a U.S.-backed call for a 21-day truce between Israel and Hezbollah to
allow time for a diplomatic solution. Hezbollah has not responded to the
proposal.
