This would be a devastating blow to Iran-backed Hezbollah group which has suffered numerous casualties in its conflict with Israel that has killed 800 people within a week. The Hezbollah chief's daughter Zainab Nasrallah was also reportedly killed in the Israeli strikes on Friday.
Zainab was known for her outspoken loyalty to Hezbollah and her family's sacrifices and her death, if confirmed, would have large implications in the brewing conflict with Israel. This came as Israel struck Hezbollah headquarters in a massive strike targeting Hassan Nasrallah.
After an almost year-long war with Hamas in Gaza, Israel has shifted its focus towards ally Hezbollah in multiple airstrikes at Lebanon that has killed 569 people since Monday. Lebanon has appealed to the US for help in stopping Israel's offensive as fears of an all-out war surge in the Middle East.
Hezbollah's warning came after Israel inflicted serious blows on the group with targeted attacks on the group's communication devices and a devastating airstrike on Beirut that killed 45 people. The cycle of escalation between the enemies has raised fears of a full-out war in the Middle East.
Israel's attack on Beirut comes after two days of attacks that dealt a critical blow to Hezbollah in which communication devices like pagers and walkie-talkies used by its members exploded. It was the deadliest strike targeting the Lebanese capital since the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war.
The Hamas-run government media office said 13 children and six women were among the dead in the Israeli airstrikes on Saturday. The Israeli Army claimed to hit a Hamas command centre embedded in the compound that previously served as a school.

A screenshot allegedly showing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Instagram story with the message "All Eyes on PoK" has been widely circulated online. However, Newschecker has verified that the image is fake, with no evidence of such a post on the Prime Minister's social media accounts.
The attacks came after an Israeli strike caused a blaze at a camp that killed 45 Palestinians on Sunday night, sparking an international outcry. Israel marched its tanks into the heart of Rafah in defiance of an ICJ ruling while three European countries recognised Palestinian statehood on Tuesday.
A suspected Israeli attack on Iran's embassy in Syria, killing 12, has dramatically raised the stakes in the Middle East as nations prepare for Iran's retaliation. This can result in an expansion of the war in the region and would have repercussions in the oil market, including India.
