Israel is checking if Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was at the terror group’s headquarters in Beirut when it was struck by the Israeli Air Force a short while ago, sources tell Israeli media.

The IDF said that it struck Hezbollah’s central headquarters built under civilian buildings in the Dahiyeh suburb of Beirut, but did not say if Nasrallah was the target.

A Lebanese security source told Reuters that Hezbollah’s top officials are usually gathered at the site that was targeted.
