'Hassan Nasrallah will no longer be able to terrorise the world,' the Israeli military says in a statement, claiming to have killed the Hezbollah leader in strikes that shook the Lebanese capital.
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has been killed after airstrikes in Beirut, the Israeli army has said. Recent weeks have seen Israel unleash a barrage of strikes against Lebanon after it turned its attention to the conflict at its northern border. On Saturday, Israel targeted the capital Beirut with a series of attacks claiming to have struck the central headquarters of Hezbollah.
However, after several hours of confusion, his death was confirmed by Israel. 'Hassan Nasrallah will no longer be able to terrorise the world,' it said, while Hezbollah itself is yet to issue a clarifying statement on its leader's fate. Alongside claiming to have killed Nasrallah, the IDF said it had killed a number of other commanders, including Ali Karaki, the commander of the southern front.
