The Israeli Military Intelligence Authority revealed new details today, September 27th, 2025, at approximately 5:07 PM UTC, regarding the elimination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah exactly one year prior, on September 27th, 2024, at 6:21 PM UTC. The IDF stated that intelligence gathered over years allowed for the precise targeting of Nasrallah's secret bunker, constructed with Iranian technology. According to the Military Intelligence Authority, in the days preceding his elimination, Nasrallah was unaware he was the next target and was focused on rebuilding Hezbollah's capabilities and planning counter-attacks. These plans were reportedly thwarted as the IDF utilized years of gathered intelligence to pinpoint his exact location in the secret shelter. The operation, named 'New Order,' involved the Air Force simultaneously dropping 83 bombs on Nasrallah's location, also eliminating Ali Karki, the commander of Hezbollah's South Front, and other senior officials. This announcement comes exactly one year after the event and coincides with a ceremony held in Lebanon to commemorate Nasrallah's martyrdom. Earlier today, September 27th, 2025, at approximately 5:00 PM UTC, the IDF had initially released details of the operation. Iran's National Security Council Chairman Alijani also visited Beirut today to mark the anniversary, reportedly bypassing Syrian airspace. These developments occur amidst ongoing diplomatic discussions regarding Iran's nuclear program. On September 27th, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met with UN General Assembly President Annalena Baerbock in New York, discussing the program ahead of an October 5th deadline for international sanctions. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian expressed frustration today, stating that European negotiators reneged on agreements after consulting with Americans regarding Iran's nuclear program.
