ISTANBUL, Turkey — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says that Israel is committing a “genocide” in Lebanon after Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli strike yesterday.

“Lebanon and the Lebanese people are the latest target of a policy of genocide, occupation, and invasion carried out by Israel since October 7,” Erdogan writes on X.
