The Hezbollah terror group confirms the death of its leader, Hassan Nasrallah, in an Israeli airstrike in the Lebanese capital of Beirut yesterday.
Hezbollah praises Nasrallah’s leadership of the terror group in its conflict with Israel and support of Palestinians.
“Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary General of Hezbollah, has joined his great, immortal martyr comrades whom he led for about 30 years,” Hezbollah says in a statement.
Hezbollah says 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 at Hezbollah’s main underground headquarters in the Dahiyeh suburb of Beirut when the IDF carried out its massive strikes.
Earlier, the IDF said Nasrallah had been killed in the attack, but Hezbollah did not comment until now.
