Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah killed in Israeli airstrike – video

Hezbollah, the militant group based in Lebanon, has confirmed the death of its long-time leader, Hassan Nasrallah, following an Israeli airstrike that struck Dahiyeh, a southern suburb of Beirut. Israel has claimed that Nasrallah was killed in what they have labeled a ‘precise’ operation within the Lebanese capital. Having led Hezbollah for over thirty years, Nasrallah’s position is now expected to be filled by his second-in-command, Hashem Safieddine, who is rumored to be stepping into the leadership role.

Amid rising violence, Lebanon’s cabinet has convened an emergency session after two days of relentless bombardment, during which thousands of people are desperately seeking safety. This development represents a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict and has heightened tensions across the region.
