Hezbollah confirms the martyrdom of Leader Hassan Nasrallah.
Hezbollah, Lebanon’s resistance movement, has confirmed the martyrdom of its leader, Hassan Nasrallah. This announcement follows Israel’s airstrike on Hezbollah’s headquarters in Beirut, which claimed the lives of Nasrallah, the head of the missile unit, and his deputy.
Who Was Hassan Nasrallah?
Hassan Nasrallah became the Secretary General of Hezbollah at just 32, following the assassination of his predecessor, Abbas al-Musawi, by Israeli gunships in 1992.
Moreover, Nasrallah studied politics and the Quran in Najaf, Iraq, where he met al-Musawi. He was expelled from Iraq in 1978 and later joined the Amal movement during Lebanon’s civil war. After Israel’s 1982 invasion of Beirut, Nasrallah left Amal and joined Hezbollah.
Under his leadership, Hezbollah emerged as a key opponent of Israel. Nasrallah maintained that Israel remains a significant threat. Since Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, Hezbollah has been engaging in near-daily clashes with Israeli forces along the Lebanon-Israel border.
