In a statement shared on their “X” account, they declared, “Hassan Nasrallah will no longer be able to terrorize the world.” This announcement follows a series of attacks overnight in Beirut, which Israel stated were aimed at Nasrallah and other Hezbollah commanders.
Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the Shiite militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon, has been a prominent and influential figure in the Middle East. He had not been seen in public for years due to fears of assassination by Israel.
Known for his close ties to Iran, Nasrallah played a key role in transforming Hezbollah into the political and military force it is today. Under his leadership, Hezbollah has trained fighters from the Palestinian armed group Hamas, as well as militias in Iraq and Yemen, and has received rockets from Iran to be used against Israel.
