Israel's military says Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was killed in Beirut strike.
Earlier, Israel said it was attacking the group's headquarters and weapons facilities in the Lebanese capital, and Israeli and US media reported Nasrallah was the target of strikes Friday night, although a source close to Hezbollah said he was "fine".
The blasts that rocked southern Beirut Friday were the fiercest to hit the group's stronghold since Israel and Hezbollah last went to war in 2006.
This is developing story. Further details are coming soon.
