Hassan Nasrallah, head of Hezbollah, has been killed in Israel's attack on Lebanon. BBC reported that other senior leaders of Hezallah were also killed in the attack, citing the Israeli army.
The Israeli army, the IDF, said that Nasrallah was killed in an attack by its fighter jet on the Hezbollah headquarters under a residential building in Dahiya, Beirut, the capital of Lebanon. Hezbollah commander Mohammad Ali Ismail and his aide Hussain Ahman Ismail were also killed, according to the IDF.
Hezbollah has confirmed the death of its leader Nasrallah and warned of retaliation. Nasrallah joined Hezbollah in 1982. After Mousavi's assassination in 1992, he became the head of Hezbollah.
Earlier, the IDF said it had carried out a "very precise" attack on the Hezbollah headquarters. Even after the death of Nasrallah, Israel continued to attack South Beirut, according to the international media.
According to Lebanese authorities, six people were killed and 91 wounded in Saturday's attack. Along with this, the number of people killed in air strikes by the Israeli army in Lebanon since Monday has reached 800. Also, Hezbollah has also carried out some attacks in Israel, according to the BBC. The IDF reported that 10 rockets were fired from Lebanon early Saturday morning.
Hezbollah is a Shiite Muslim group based in Lebanon, founded in the 1980s with financial and military aid from Iran to use against Israel. During the civil war in the 1980s, Israeli forces occupied southern Lebanon. However, Israel was forced to withdraw from southern Lebanon on May 24, 2000 after Hezbollah attacked the American and Israeli forces in Lebanon.
With Israel leaving Lebanon, the pressure to disarm Hezbollah increased. However, ignoring that, the group has strengthened its military organization, Hezbollah, which has expanded thousands of fighters and a large missile stockpile in southern Lebanon. Hezbollah, which has been challenging the Israeli presence in the border region, has been declared a terrorist group by various countries including the US and Israel.
