| Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah |
The Israeli military has claimed the death of Sayed Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah. He was killed in an airstrike in the Lebanese capital Beirut on Friday (September 27) evening.
On Saturday (September 28), the first Israeli media, The Times of Israel, reported this information.
"Hassan Nasrallah will no longer be able to lead terrorism in the world," said a statement shared by the Israeli military on the IDF's X account.
The Israeli military claimed in a statement that it had killed longtime Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in an airstrike in Beirut on Friday evening. In addition to Hasan Nasrallah, Hezbollah's southern front commander was killed.
However, Hezbollah has not yet commented on this.
A source close to Hezbollah said Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah could not be reached after a massive Israeli airstrike in south Beirut on Friday evening.
Contact with Syed Hasan Nasrallah has been lost since Friday evening, the source said on condition of anonymity. However, he did not confirm whether Nasrallah was killed.
Earlier, according to the news agency Reuters report, on Friday, Israel carried out a large-scale air strike targeting Hassan Nasrallah, the head of the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah.
It was feared that the head of the organization, Hassan Nasrallah, was killed in this attack targeting the headquarters of Hezbollah.
The US and its allies proposed a three-week ceasefire in Lebanon last Wednesday. But Israel rejected that proposal.
On Friday (September 27), Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged to continue the fight against Hezbollah with all his might in a United Nations address. After that, the Israeli army carried out heavy airstrikes on Beirut.
