Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary-General of the Lebanon-based militant group Hezbollah, has been killed in an Israeli airstrike, the group confirmed.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced on Saturday that Nasrallah was eliminated in a bombing targeting an underground Hezbollah compound in the Dahiyeh suburb of Beirut, Lebanon.
The IDF stated that Nasrallah, 64, was a central figure in orchestrating attacks against Israel, holding him responsible for the deaths of numerous Israeli civilians and soldiers. “Hassan Nasrallah will no longer be able to terrorize the world,” the IDF declared, vowing continued action against those who engage in terrorism against Israel.
Hezbollah, while initially denying the reports, later confirmed the death of their leader, marking a significant loss for the organisation. Nasrallah, who assumed leadership of Hezbollah in 1992, was a key figure in the group’s rise to power, overseeing the acquisition of long-range rockets and fostering close ties with Iran. Under his leadership, Hezbollah also maintained support for Hamas, the Palestinian militant group based in Gaza.
In the same series of strikes, the IDF also reported the deaths of other high-ranking Hezbollah officials, including Ali Karki, Commander of Hezbollah’s Southern Front, and Muhammad Ali Ismail, head of the group’s Missile Unit, along with several senior operatives.
The airstrike comes amid escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, with frequent cross-border exchanges in the aftermath of the Israel-Hamas war that began in October.
When you say ‘secretary-general of the militant group’, I think you mean ‘ringleader of murdering terrorist scum’.
Live by the sword die by the sword.
Don t worry. Somebody else will take his place.
Somebody already has, and they’re already dead!

After Hassan Nasrallah was killed, Hezbollah announced his successor as Hassan Khalil Yassin and now he has just been killed. I’m thinking that Israel has now had enough of the Jihad and is going to go after them all.
No country should have to tolerate missiles being fired at it all the time like Hezbollah has been doing since at least before 2006. After all, Russia has just hinted that if long range missiles are fired into its territory, then nuclear weapons could be used. So, Russia would not tolerate this and I’m damn sure China or the US would not either.
Hear hear. Well said Mark!
No country should have to tolerate rockets and missiles being fired at them.
No country should give their neighbours reason to. And Israel has been treating the Palestinians and their neighbours poorly for decades.
They won’t be able to eradicate resistance with their mass killings of innocent bystanders. They just create more by using a 2000lb bomb in a built up area to get their man.
But Israel doesn’t seem to like giving adversaries negotiating room.
I for one don’t want to live under a form of governance involving Israel. I would say most of their neighbours feel the same way
Yea, thousands have already been killed.
And with what results ??
Murder is only a ” temporary” solution for stupid criminals. Bloody revenge will come followed by more murders etc.
Oh no.
Anyway…

A bit of historical knowledge and critical thinking might help a few commentators here to look at the conflict from a different perspective:
Think of some religous cult was able to convince the world 70 years ago, that New Zealand should be their new home.
Then watch as you and your family are terrorized by the OCCUPIERS for decades.
In that scenario, the occupiers call YOU a terrorist now.
Read the history of the people who lived in Palestine since milennia.
Then read who the people are/were who created the zionist state of Israhell.
(you find real history in unz.com)
Then distinguish between Judaism and the Khazarian mafia.
And for good measure delve into world finance since about 270 years ago and who invented/created/forced Central Banks.
Janis Joplin was wrong: Nothing left to lose is NOT freedom.
Free Palestine!
You might have heard of an old book called the Bible. Hardly anybody reads it now, but it kinda indicates in the old testament that Jews have lived in the area for literally thousands of years. Along with the Arabs of course, who have hated and attacked them since Mohammed’s time.
The area was called ‘Palestine’ by the Romans, who used the name as an insult after the Philistines, a warlike illiterate violent tribe of desert trouble makers, and the area was part of the Ottoman empire for hundreds of years until Britain and France inherited it after beating and destroying the Ottomans in WW1.
The international agreement under the League of Nations’ mandate was that Britain would administer ‘Palestine’ with the eventual aim of establishing a free democratic state there.
There was even a built-in ‘two state’ plan to divide it between Jews and Arabs, but this turned to custard when all Israel’s neighbours attacked Israel en masse within days of the British pulling out.
In this 1948 war (the first of many) a huge number of Arabs fled and they housed in ‘refugee camps’ and were used by Egypt, Syria and Jordan as eternal victims to justify their hatred of the Jews. They were not integrated into these societies; they were kept like rats in their camps.
Meanwhile, those Arabs who stayed in Israel went on to be democratically free and an important part of Israeli society. Around 20% if Israel’s population is Arab and they contribute hugely to the country’s business, academic and political life.
Meanwhile, for 76 years Israel has had to live with a constant series of wars, bombings, terrorist attacks and rockets from their neighbours. Literally thousands of rockets in the last year alone.
Finally now Israel has had enough – and good on them. No more Mr Nice Guy.
Well, the old testament says that the jews lived there.
And the maori lived in new zealand
And the indians lived in America.

Excellent reads and more actual than the bible, to broaden your views

Israhell is an apartheid state “funded”on lies theft and terrorism
And it will go under sooner or later as violence will be fought with violence.
@ eurowiki
You seem to confuse ” arabs” and ” muslims”. And that is not the same.
Not all ” arabs” are muslims . There are also christians among ” arabs” .
Arab being an ethny. Muslim a religion.
Actually the first christians ( egypt, turkiye and libanon a.o.) were ” arabs” And thanks to the political position of western countries dominated for the most by J***, those people are now persecuted in countries were they lived in peace for centuries with muslims .
And not all ” muslims” are arabs. Many asiatic countries are muslims.
As for the uninterrupted flow of muslims in europe as well as other refugees: perhaps if j*** dominated US government as well its european allies also dominated by the same would stop to bomb the middel east and interfer a.o. in africa’s affairs, the ordinary people would not have to suffer this stream of refugiees with all troubles it causes. Not to say the huge expenses again to be payed by the taxpayers.
So there are war mongers, yes. And we know who they are.
