The Israeli military has confirmed that Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, has died in an airstrike on Beirut, the capital of Lebanon. This is anticipated to deal an enormous setback to Hezbollah, which is suffering from an intensifying Israeli bombing operation. Nadav Shoshani, the Israeli army spokesperson, declared on X on Saturday that Hassan Nasrallah had passed away.
The Israeli military reported that other Hezbollah superiors including Ali Karki, the head of the organization’s southern front, had been murdered in Friday’s major assault in the southern area of Beirut. The Lebanese health department reports that 91 people were injured in the strike, which also destroyed six residential complexes.
A day after the attacks, Hezbollah acknowledged Nasrallah’s passing and vowed to continue the conflict with Israel. Hezbollah leader and other commanders passed away after the deceitful Zionist attack on the southern areas of the capital, according to the group’s statement. Israel is on high alert as a result of his death, according to the IDF.
For over three decades, Hassan Nasrallah served as the organization’s administrative and ideological head, leading Hezbollah to dominance in the region. The Lebanese leader received praise from his fans for opposing the US and stepping up against Israel. He was perceived by his adversaries as the leader of a terrorist group and as Iran’s pawn in the struggle for sway in the region.
During long months of fighting sparked by the conflict in Gaza, Nasrallah’s power in the area was evident as Hezbollah joined the battle, shooting on Israeli targets from the north in a bid to provide assistance for Palestinian affiliate, Hamas. Although the majority of Nasrallah’s rule was shaped by his conflicts with Israel, Hezbollah’s activities in other regions made him a polarizing character inside and outside the country.
Hezbollah, under the leadership of Nasrallah, has fought against opposing religious and political groups, among Nasrallah’s many other internal adversaries. Because of safety issues, he was seldom ever seen out in the society during the recent years.
In the announcement confirming Nasrallah’s death, the Israeli armed forces charged Hezbollah commander of being accountable for the deaths of several Israeli troops and people.
