Hassan Nasrallah, the chief of Hezbollah, essentially the most highly effective Iranian-backed militant group within the Middle East, was killed by Israeli forces. He was 64.
Israel’s navy mentioned Nasrallah was killed in an air strike on Beirut Friday night, and Hezbollah confirmed his dying a number of hours later. Israel Defense Forces spokesman Daniel Hagari mentioned {that a} “exact strike” focused a command heart underneath residential buildings the place Nasrallah was believed to be holed up within the Lebanese capital.
Nasrallah had remained deep in hiding as Israel escalated air strikes on Hezbollah positions in Lebanon in current weeks. In a present of solidarity with Hamas following that group’s Oct. 7, 2023, assaults on Israel, Hezbollah started firing rockets and missiles on a near-daily foundation at Israel in a bid to tie down Israeli forces.
