At 6:21 p.m. on September 27, 2024, Beirut shook. It wasn't just a tremor; the shock was felt underground in every corner of the city. Within minutes, Israeli fighter jets dropped at least a dozen bunker-busting bombs weighing 900 kilograms each in a surgically precise operation. Israel had staked everything on a single card. to eliminate Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, who was hiding with other members of the organization's military leadership in the place considered the most impregnable, a shelter 30 meters underground. With this attack, Israel fulfilled the prophecy its leaders had been repeating for years: to tear the leader from the snake.
