US National Security Council spokesperson Sean Savett stated on social media that President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are monitoring the Iranian attack on Israel from the White House Situation Room, receiving regular updates from their national security team.

The South Governorate suffered the highest casualties, with 48 dead and 168 injured in Ain Al-Delb and Tyre, according to the Ministry's statement on Sunday. These attacks followed a Friday airstrike on Beirut's densely populated southern suburbs, which killed Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Lebanon's Hezbollah group, involved in nearly a year of cross-border conflict with Israel.

The exhumation of the Hezbollah leader's intact body has led to growing speculation that Nasrallah died from suffocation in severe agony, Channel 12 News reported Sunday evening. According to Saudi Al Hadath news channel, the lack of ventilation in the area allowed gases from Air Force bombings to enter the room, ultimately causing his death by suffocation.
