Hezbollah has confirmed the death of its leader, Hassan Nasrallah, after a series of massive Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon’s capital Beirut. Nasrallah, who had not been seen in public for years because of fears of being assassinated by Israel, was one of the most influential figures in the Middle East.
Ali Karki, the commander of Hezbollah’s southern front, and other Hezbollah military leaders were also killed in the attack on Beirut’s southern suburb of Dahiyeh, according to the Israeli military.
Hezbollah confirmed Nasrallah’s death and vowed to keep up the fight against Israel “in support of Gaza and Palestine, and in defence of Lebanon”. Iran, the main backer of Hezbollah, declared five days of national mourning. Iran’s Supreme Leader declared that Nasrallah’s death “will not go unavenged”
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his country had “settled the score” with Nasrallah’s death and described his assassination as an “historic turning point” which could reshape the region.
US President Joe Biden said that his death was a “measure of justice for his many victims” and Kamala Harris described Nasrallah as a “terrorist” with blood on his hands.
Western countries are warning citizens to leave Lebanon as the assassination fuels fears of a wider war. Israel has strongly signalled that it may send ground forces into Lebanon. Thousands of Lebanese citizens are continue to flee the south of the country.

Isn't Beirut, Lebanon tired of War? Aren't the lebanese tired of it all? Is war better than peace? And don't point to Israel. You started the bombing first. Hasan is an evil man.

Nasrallah is evil using civilians as shield. Can't the Lebanese see s through this?
Are these reporters supporting these terrorists? Natanyhue has the right to defend itself.
BBC News – you are a disgrace

Why don't everybody just leave Israel alone? Why do they keep attacking? And then crying about it
And maybe not let Hezbollah operate unfeathered. In your country, maybe that'll help.

Iran's leaders are odious idiots! Khameini orders attacks on Israel. When retaliated, it plays the victim. To be sure, Iran has no business meddling between Palestine and Israel! Iran helps Palestinians, using them as proxies, so that if it succeeds, it can control the region, and govern through Islamic fanaticism! However, in a decisive battle between good and evil, the former always prevail! Iran is too stupid in not knowing that it is playing the evil’s role — if not outright the devil!
You ever wondered why BBC doesnt use the the word twrrorist for terrorists. .
