Hezbollah Confirms Death of Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah | WPN World People News

According to a report by Reuters, Hezbollah confirmed on the 28th that its leader, Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, was killed in an Israeli airstrike. In a statement, Hezbollah vowed to continue fighting against Israel in support of Gaza and Palestine, while defending Lebanon and its steadfast, honorable people. Following the official announcement of Nasrallah's death, Hezbollah’s television channel began broadcasting verses from the Quran.

Israel launched airstrikes on Lebanon on the 27th, later claiming that Hezbollah leader Nasrallah was killed in the attack. Nasrallah's death is seen as a major blow to Iran, which backs Hezbollah. In addition to Nasrallah, reports on social media indicated that several commanders of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard were also killed in the airstrike, including Brigadier General Nifrousan, who had served as the deputy commander of Iran's foreign operations and as the acting commander in operations in Syria and Lebanon. After the airstrike, Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei was reportedly moved to a secure location. Several Hezbollah leaders were also killed, with CNN reporting that Hezbollah's command structure was nearly dismantled, marking a significant blow to the organization.

Recently, Israel has shifted its military focus to northern Lebanon. Not long ago, Israel severely disrupted Hezbollah's internal communication network by simultaneously detonating thousands of BB Call devices. This was followed by airstrikes that killed several key Hezbollah leaders, causing shock in Iran, which supports the group. Although Hezbollah has suffered severe short-term damage, external observers believe its leadership can be replaced and the organization still retains considerable military strength.

Additionally, U.S. military sources suggest Israel may launch a limited invasion of southern Lebanon to further attack Hezbollah forces. Israel stated that the goal is to put an end to Hezbollah's attacks on Israel's northern territories, allowing tens of thousands of Israelis to return to their homes.
