According to TASS on September 30, a witness said that Israeli aircraft had attacked a building in Beirut's Kola district for the first time, shaking nearby buildings.

"The plane crashed into a building near the Kola Bridge. A missile exploded," a witness said.

Prior to the airstrike, Israeli drones conducted reconnaissance flights over the skies southwest of the Lebanese capital.

Earlier, Reuters reported that more than 100 people were killed in the Israeli attack on Lebanon on September 29. According to the source, the Israeli Air Force completed an attack targeting Hezbollah targets in Lebanon.

On the same day, September 29, Israeli officials released a list of senior Hezbollah leaders and military commanders they had targeted in recent weeks, showing that most had been killed.

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu declared that the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was a "necessary condition" for Israel to achieve its goals. Netanyahu stated that Israel was nearing a historic turning point in its fight against its adversaries. "We are determined to continue attacking the enemy, bringing our people and all hostages home," the Israeli Prime Minister said.

US President Joe Biden called Israel's killing of the Hezbollah leader "an act of justice." According to the US leader, Washington fully supports Israel's right to self-defense against Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, and any other group backed by Iran.
