Media reports said on September 28 that Hezbollah confirmed the killing of its leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in a massive Israeli air attack on a densely populated neighborhood of Beirut that reduced several residential buildings to rubble.
Al Jazeera reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said Israel “settled the score” with the assassination of Nasrallah as his air force’s bombing campaign goes on.
Hezbollah says it will continue to confront Israel in support of Gaza and in defense of Lebanon.
U.S. President Joe Biden has reportedly called the Israeli strike that killed Nasrallah a “measure of justice”.
Meanwhile, tens of thousands of Lebanese continue to flee their homes during Israel’s repeated air strikes.
Reuters, citing medical and security sources, reported yesterday that the body of Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has been recovered from the site of an Israeli air attack on Beirut's southern suburbs and is intact.
While Hezbollah's statement on Saturday confirming Nasrallah's death did not say how exactly he was killed nor when his funeral would be, the two sources said his body had no direct wounds and that it appeared the cause of death was blunt trauma from the force of the blast, Reuters noted.
Al-Jazeera reported on September 28 that according to Israel’s military and Lebanese group, Hezbollah’s leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has been killed in an air attack on Lebanon’s capital Beirut, “which is a significant blow to Hezbollah as it reels from an escalating campaign of Israeli attacks.”
Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, 64, had led the group for more than 32 years, serving as a political and spiritual leader who guided Hezbollah to a place of prominence in Lebanon. Among his supporters, Nasrallah was lauded for standing up to Israel and defying the United States. To his enemies, he was the head of a terrorist organization and a proxy for Iran in its tussle for influence in the Middle East
Al-Jazeera cited Nabeel Khoury, a former US diplomat, as saying that Israel continues to act with impunity in the Middle East without even “a rap on the knuckles” from the United States, and this could lead to their enemies acting against international law in a similar fashion.
“All in all, this is very bad news that you could assassinate someone in the middle of another country’s capital, destroying several high-rise residential buildings in the process,” Khoury told Al Jazeera.
