The Israeli military has announced that Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, was killed in a massive airstrike on Friday in Beirut, Lebanon. While the Iran-backed militant group has not yet confirmed his death, this potential loss would deal a significant blow to Hezbollah, which has already been weakened by a series of Israeli offensives.
What we know so far:
Nasrallah reportedly killed: The Israeli military claims that Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary-General of Hezbollah, was killed in the airstrike alongside other commanders. Among them was Ali Karki, Commander of Hezbollah’s Southern Front. Hezbollah has not yet commented on the situation. This alleged assassination pushes Israel’s conflict with Hezbollah into uncharted territory, potentially escalating tensions in the region.
