Hezbollah confirms martyrdom of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah – SUCH TV


Lebanon’s Hezbollah confirmed on Saturday that its leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was martyred and vowed to continue the battle against Israel.

“His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, has joined his great and immortal martyr comrades who have led their path for nearly thirty years,” Hezbollah said in a statement on Saturday.

According to reports from the resistance media, Nasrallah was assassinated in a massive Israeli attack in southern Beirut Friday evening.

The Israeli army launched a series of extensive assaults on what it described as the “central headquarters” of Hezbollah in the southern suburb of Dahieh.

The strike came amid heightened tensions between Hezbollah and the Israeli regime over the genocidal war in the Gaza Strip.

Israel said earlier that it had killed the Hezbollah leader in an airstrike in Beirut’s southern suburbs a day earlier, in what would be a devastating blow to the group as it reels from an escalating campaign of Israeli attacks.

The Israeli military said in a statement that Nasrallah was assassinated in a “targeted strike” on the group’s underground headquarters under a residential building in Dahiyeh — a Hezbollah-controlled southern suburb of Beirut.

It said he was killed along with another top Hezbollah leader — Ali Karaki —and other commanders.

“The strike was conducted while Hezbollah’s senior chain of command were operating from the headquarters,” it claimed.
