The Israeli Defense Forces' Intelligence Division revealed details today, September 27th, 2025, at approximately 5:00 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, which was constructed using Iranian technology. The IDF's announcement, made by an IDF spokesman, detailed that in the days leading up to his elimination, Nasrallah was attempting to restore the organization's capabilities and plan counter-attacks, unaware he was next on the target list following other operations. The operation, named 'New Order,' involved the Air Force dropping 83 bombs simultaneously on Nasrallah's location, also eliminating Ali Karki, the commander of the South front, and other underground commanders. This revelation coincides with a ceremony held today in Lebanon to commemorate the anniversary of Nasrallah's martyrdom, with a large participation of Lebanese people, as reported by IrnaEnglish on X. The timing of the IDF's release of these details, exactly one year after the event, underscores the ongoing significance of the operation and its impact on regional dynamics. Previous reports from September 27th indicated that Iran's National Security Council Chairman Alijani visited Beirut on the same date to commemorate the anniversary of Hassan Nasrallah's assassination. Alijani's travel route bypassed Syrian airspace, proceeding through Turkey, a detail that was previously noted and attributed to strained Syrian-Iranian relations. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi also met with UN General Assembly President Annalena Baerbock in New York on September 27th, discussing Iran's nuclear program amidst an upcoming October 5th deadline for international sanctions.
