Israel&nbsp;Defense Forces (IDF) on&nbsp;Friday (Sep 27) said they had&nbsp;targeted Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah in a strike on the militant organisation's central headquarters in Beirut. However, the IDF has not confirmed whether&nbsp;Nasrallah was hit in the strikes.&nbsp;

Lebanon's health ministry said two people were killed and 76 wounded in the strikes.

"The successive Israeli enemy strikes on Haret Hreik in Beirut's southern suburbs, in a preliminary toll, killed two people and wounded 76, including... 15 that required hospitalisation," a ministry statement said.

Hezbollah's Al-Manar TV said four buildings had been destroyed in the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital. Later, news agency AFP quoted a Hezbollah source as saying that at least six buildings were flattened in the attack.

"After I heard the lies and slanders leveled at my country by many of the speakers at this podium, I decided to come here and set the record straight," Netanyahu said.

The Israeli PM also warned Iran that if it dares to strike his country, "we will strike you back." He added that there was no place in Iran that Israeli agencies couldn't reach.

The leader slammed Gaza's Hamas and Lebanon-based Hezbollah, saying both militant groups had fired more than 8,000 rockets at Israel since the war began on October 7.&nbsp;

The Israeli PM&nbsp;said&nbsp;that "Hamas has got to go" and the militant group would have no role in the reconstruction of Gaza as he vowed to fight until "total victory."

"If Hamas stays in power, it will regroup... and attack Israel again and again and again... So Hamas has got to go," Netanyahu said to diplomats.
