Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah k!lled in air strikes – Israel
Hezbollah is both a Shiite Muslim party and a militant group. It is anti-Israel and gets it’s funding from Iran, Israel’s arch-enemy.
It has supported Hamas since the start of October 7 conflict between Israel and Palestine.
Nasrallah, who hasn’t appeared publicly for years for fear of being assassinated, has personal links to Iran and helped to militarise Hezbollah, training members of Hamas and militias in Yemen and Iraq.
Nasrallah was born in 1960 in Beirut, before later joining the Amal movement, a Shia militia, during the Lebanese Civil War in 1975.
Nasrallah became leader of Hezbollah in 1992 after the former leader was killed in a helicopter strike. Hezbollah is yet to comment on the assassination claim by Israel as at the time of filing this report.
