**BEIRUT** – In a major development in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Lebanon, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Saturday, September 28, 2024. The Israeli military confirmed the attack, stating that Nasrallah was eliminated at Hezbollah’s central headquarters in the southern suburbs of Beirut.
Nasrallah, who had led Hezbollah for 32 years, was a pivotal figure in the region, known for his defiance of Israel and the United States.
