The video, published by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), shows the moment Israeli missiles struck Hezbollah’s underground headquarters in Beirut on September 27, 2024.
The strike, part of Operation “New Order,” saw Israel drop more than 80 bombs on the militant group’s main operations room, eliminating Nasrallah and several senior commanders in a devastating blow to Hezbollah.
Ali Karki, the Commander of Hezbollah’s Southern Front, was also killed in this blitz.
Alongside the footage, the IDF posted on X: “On September 27, 2024, at 6:21 p.m. and as part of Operation ‘New Order,’ the IDF eliminated Hassan Nasrallah, leader of the Hezbollah terrorist organization, and together with him Ali Karki… in several simultaneous strikes.”
The IDF also sent fighter jets to fly low over the Hezbollah chief’s funeral procession.
Defence Minister Israel Katz revealed the army made this move to send a message to the terror group.
Thousands of people, dressed in black, flocked to the militant boss’s funeral, which also remembered his successor, Hashem Safieddine, who was killed in a separate strike.
Nasrallah was one of the terror group’s founding members and his death was a huge blow to the Iran-backed militant group.
The Hezbollah co-founder was one of the most influential people in the Middle East and helped trained Hamas fighters.
He also helped increase Hezbollah’s presence and popularity in Lebanon during his 30 years in power.
Nasrallah had gone into hiding for several years before his death because of fears he would be assassinated by Israel.
Around 450,000 people were apparently in attendance at the funeral, according to an anonymous Lebanese official.
Hezbollah reportedly called on people to show up as an apparent show of strength following several major setbacks this year.
Israel wiped out 20 terror targets in a calculated and intense airstrike, just hours before the Lebanon ceasefire was signed in November.
The IDF also killed Nasrallah just two months before.
The deadly Israeli airstrike ripped through the terror chief’s underground command hideout in Beirut.
At the time, the IDF said: “Hassan Nasrallah will no longer be able to terrorize the world.”
