In a significant turn of events, Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, was reportedly killed by Israeli forces at the age of 64. The powerful Iranian-backed militant group in the Middle East suffered a major blow with Nasrallah’s death. Israel’s military claimed responsibility for the targeted air strike on Beirut, where Nasrallah was believed to be hiding in a command center under residential buildings. Hezbollah later confirmed his death, marking the end of an era for the organization.
Nasrallah’s demise comes amidst escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, with the latter firing rockets and missiles at Israel in solidarity with Hamas. Nasrallah had been in hiding as Israel intensified air strikes on Hezbollah positions in Lebanon. His death is seen as a decisive move by Israel to weaken the militant group’s leadership.
The region is now bracing for potential retaliation and further unrest as the power dynamics in the Middle East continue to shift following Nasrallah’s demise.
