Last Wednesday, the Israel Air Force dropped 23 tons of explosives on a Hezbollah bunker in Beirut.
Hidden under an innocent-looking mosque, the bunker had been built by Iranian engineers who specialized in the construction of protected subterranean buildings for their country's nuclear facilities.
Hezbollah is carefully guarding the area around the damaged bunker and preventing strangers from approaching.
Israel's chief of staff hinted Friday that Israel knows the identities of some of those killed in the bombing, but prefers that Hezbollah publicize their names.
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah wasn't in the bunker at the time, but it is possible that other members of the organization's leadership were wounded.
