BEIRUT: The Israeli military said on Saturday (Sep 28) it had killed Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in an air strike on the group’s central headquarters in the southern suburbs of Beirut a day earlier.
Hezbollah later confirmed that Nasrallah, who had led the group for 32 years, had been killed and vowed to continue the battle against Israel “in support of Gaza and Palestine, and in defence of Lebanon and its steadfast and honourable people”.
Hezbollah’s Al-Manar TV started airing Quran verses after the announcement of Nasrallah’s death.
The Israeli military “eliminated … Hassan Nasrallah, leader of the Hezbollah terrorist organization”, Israeli army spokesperson Avichay Adraee wrote in a statement on X.
“Hassan Nasrallah will no longer be able to terrorize the world,” the Israeli military said in a post on X on Saturday.
