“Hassan Nasrallah, the revered and reviled longtime leader of Hezbollah, was killed Friday in an Israeli airstrike, the Israeli Defense Forces said. Nasrallah, ‘the leader of the Hezbollah terrorist organization and one of its founders, was eliminated by the IDF,’ the Israeli military said in a statement Saturday. … Hezbollah confirmed Nasrallah’s death, saying it would continue its battle against Israel ‘in support of Gaza and Palestine, and in defense of Lebanon and its steadfast and honorable people.’ … Nasrallah was among the most important leaders in the Middle East, commanding tens of thousands of fighters and armed with missiles supplied by the Shia Islamist movement’s patron, Iran. Hezbollah governs southern Lebanon and its nearly 1 million residents independent of the weak Lebanese government.” (09/28/24)
