Kuwait calls on its citizens to leave Lebanon immediately

Kuwait called on its citizens to leave Lebanon immediately, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Saturday.

Israel killed Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in a powerful airstrike in Beirut, dealing a heavy blow to the Iran-backed group as it reels from an escalating campaign of Israeli attacks.

The Israeli military said on Saturday it had eliminated Nasrallah in the strike on the group’s central command headquarters in Beirut’s southern suburbs on Friday. Hezbollah confirmed he had been killed, without saying how.

A projectile fired from Lebanon crashed in the West Bank late on Saturday, sparking fires, the Israeli military said.

There were no casualties, according to the Israeli ambulance service.

Earlier, air raid sirens sounded on the outskirts of Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank, according to Israeli alert apps, which the Israeli military said were triggered by “a launch from Lebanon toward Israeli territory.”
