War Comes to Beirut
Briefly

The September 27th blitz, carried out with two-thousand-pound, bunker-busting bombs, obliterated six residential towers in Beirut, marking a new level of destruction in the conflict.
Hezbollah's secretary-general, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, was killed along with key commanders, signaling a significant blow to the group’s leadership and operational capability.
The calm at the site belied the violence and seismic magnitude of what happened, indicating that the official casualty toll was likely a severe undercount.
Nasrallah's thirty-two years leading Hezbollah redefined the organization from a resistance group into the region's strongest non-state actor, reshaping power dynamics in the Middle East.
