The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed on Saturday that Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has been killed. The announcement follows Israeli airstrikes targeting Nasrallah and other Hezbollah commanders in Beirut.
In a post on social media platform X, IDF declared, “Hassan Nasrallah will no longer be able to terrorize the world.” Military spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshani announced, “Hassan Nasrallah is dead,” while Captain David Avraham confirmed to AFP that the Hezbollah chief had been “eliminated” during the strikes on Friday night.

An unnamed source close to Hezbollah stated that communication with Nasrallah had been lost since Friday evening, coinciding with the Israeli strikes on the group’s stronghold in southern Beirut. However, the source did not provide confirmation of Nasrallah’s death.
The news marks a significant development in the ongoing conflict, as Israel continues its military operations against Hezbollah amid rising tensions in the region.
