Israel conducted an airstrike on Friday targeting Hezbollah's central headquarters in Beirut in an attempt to kill the group's leader Hassan Nasrallah, Israeli officials said.

Hezbollah senior commanders were the target of the strikes, according to a senior Israeli official, who said it was too early to confirm if the group's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, had been killed.
