The Hezbollah terror group has confirmed the death of its leader, Hassan Nasrallah, in an Israeli airstrike in the Lebanese capital of Beirut on Friday.
Hezbollah praised 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 said in a statement.
Hezbollah said it would continue its battle against Israel “in support of Gaza and Palestine, and in defence of Lebanon and its steadfast and honourable 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. [Times of Israel]
