A fresh wave of airstrikes hit Beirut's southern suburbs, targeting Hezbollah after a massive strike on the Iran-backed movement's command center. There is no confirmation of the fate of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. Israel has not stated that it aimed to hit Nasrallah, but a senior Israeli official said senior Hezbollah commanders were targeted. The latest barrage came hours after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the United Nations General Assembly that his country had a right to continue the campaign. This week's escalation has displaced around 100,000 people in Lebanon, increasing the total number of people uprooted in the country by the conflict to well over 200,000.
