The base has been reduced to rubble and dozens are reported dead.
Israel has said it was trying to take out Hezbollah’s commander in the airstrikes.
Reports claim Hassan Nasrallah remains alive, but no official statement has been released by Hezbollah.
An IDF spokesperson said: “Moments ago, the Israel Defense Forces carried out a precise strike on the Central Headquarters of the Hezbollah terror organization…taking the necessary action to protect our people so that Israeli families can live in their homes, safely and securely.”
The strike comes after days on Israeli bombardment inside Lebanon as it seems poised to invade the country.
Israel has wiped out a number of top Hezbollah commanders in airstrikes, but Nasrallah remained outside of Israel’s grasp.
