In a major escalation, Israel has assassinated Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in an air strike on Beirut. The assassination is considered a turning point for the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.
Israel killed Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah in a huge air strike in Lebanon , dealing the movement a seismic blow that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday called a “turning point” for his country. Hezbollah confirmed Nasrallah ’s death after the Israel i military said he had been killed in an air strike Friday on the southern suburbs of Beirut, the Iran-backed group’s main bastion.
Some Israelis celebrated his killing, while in Lebanon, his supporters’ disbelief gave way to anguished mourning. Around the region, leaders condemned the slaying while some Hezbollah allies vowed vengeance, fuelling fears of more violence in the Middle East after nearly a year of war in Gaza. “Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah… has joined his great, immortal martyr comrades whom he led for about 30 years,” Hezbollah said in a statement. Netanyahu said Israel had “settled the score” for the killing of Israelis and citizens of other countries, including Americans. As long as Nasrallah was alive, he added, he could have “quickly restored the capabilities we had eroded from Hezbollah” in a series of recent operations. “So, I gave the order — and Nasrallah is no longer with us,” he said, adding that his country was on the cusp of “what appears to be a historic turning point” in the fight against its enemies. Israel carried out more attacks on Lebanon Saturday, with one Lebanese security source saying a strike targeted a warehouse near Beirut airport.Iran, which arms and finances Hezbollah, said a senior member of its Revolutionary Guards Corps had been killed in the same strike. A source close to Hezbollah said the group’s top commander in south Lebanon, Ali Karake, had also died.“I can’t describe my shock at this announcement… we all started crying,” said Maha Karit, one of the few people who agreed to be identified by name.“It should have been done a long time ago,” said David Shalev in Israel’s commercial hub Tel Avi
