Hezbollah has confirmed the death of its leader Hassan Nasrallah, sparking widespread reactions across the region. The group stated it would continue its resistance against Israel, emphasizing its solidarity with Gaza and Palestine, and its defense of Lebanon’s integrity.
This development follows claims by the Israeli military on Saturday, stating that it had killed Nasrallah in strikes targeting southern Beirut. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the Israeli Defence Forces declared, “Hassan Nasrallah will no longer be able to terrorize the world.” Military spokesmen Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshani and Captain David Avraham confirmed Nasrallah’s elimination during Friday’s attacks on the Lebanese capital.
Uncertainty about Nasrallah’s fate intensified after a Hezbollah insider revealed that contact with him had been lost since Friday evening. Hamas quickly condemned the killing as a “cowardly terrorist act,” extending condolences to Hezbollah and expressing solidarity with the Lebanese resistance.
In related developments, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards confirmed that Abbas Nilforoushan, their deputy commander, was killed during the same strikes. Iraq declared a three-day mourning period in honor of Nasrallah’s death.
Following the announcement, Israel remains on high alert amid concerns of escalating conflict. Israeli jets continue to bombard Hezbollah strongholds in southern Beirut, while Hezbollah retaliated by launching missiles at Israeli positions, including Rosh Pina in the north.
The clashes have reignited fears of a broader regional conflict, with Iran closely coordinating with Hezbollah on their next strategic moves. Meanwhile, the intensifying airstrikes in Beirut mark the heaviest since the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war, prompting widespread panic among the city’s residents. Iran Air, reacting to the volatile situation, has suspended flights to Beirut indefinitely.
