After killing Fawad Shukra, Ismail Haniya, and dozens of middle and high-level commanders of the Resistance, Israel has also killed Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah. Immediately after the announcement of Nasrallah's elimination, discussions began in the media about how the IDF discovered Nasrallah's location and who ordered Nasrallah's death?
The American newspaper New York Times, citing Israeli sources, said that Israeli intelligence agencies tracked Hassan Nasrallah's whereabouts for months and waited for the right moment. Three senior Israeli defense officials told The New York Times that the decision to attack Hezbollah's headquarters on Friday was made by Israeli military officials because they feared Nasrallah would soon move elsewhere.
According to news reports, the attack was planned just before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu left to address the United Nations General Assembly. News reports revealed that the IDF and Mossad already had intelligence input that Hezbollah was going to hold a meeting soon, with senior Hezbollah leaders participating.

Heavy bombing to kill Nasrallah
The New York Times quoted sources as saying that Israel used about 2,000 pounds of bombs to kill Nasrallah. According to reports, the attack was so dangerous that its sound was heard several kilometers away and citizens felt an earthquake.

According to Al Jazeera report, Beirut was destroyed by American GBU-31 JDAM and Spice 2000 bombs made in Israel. The GBU-31 JDAM is a targeting equipment kit that converts unguided free-fall bombs into precision warheads. JDAM can operate in any weather and helps bombs dropped from fighter planes to reach targets precisely from the air to the surface.
Who will take over Hezbollah after Nasrallah?
According to reports, most of Hezbollah's top leaders have been eliminated. After Nasrallah, the name that tops is Safideen. Israeli officials believe that Hashem Safideen, one of Hezbollah's senior leaders, could take over after Nasrallah. According to reports, Safideen was not present at the meeting when the attack took place.
Safideen was designated a terrorist by the US in 2017 and is Nasrallah's cousin. He is currently responsible for Hezbollah's Executive Council and the group's political affairs.
It is clear from these reports how seriously Israel is taking its military strategies against Hezbollah and is also monitoring where Hezbollah's leadership will shift.
