Israel kills Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut strike

ai generated text

Israeli military says it killed Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, in an airstrike on his underground headquarters in Beirut. The strike was part of a series of attacks on Hezbollah positions in eastern and southern Lebanon, with the Israeli Defense Forces claiming to have targeted 140 sites linked to the group. At least six people were killed and 91 were wounded in the strike, with more casualties expected as rescue workers cleared rubble. Hezbollah confirmed that Nasrallah had been killed, and vowed to continue the "holy war against the enemy and in support of Palestine." The killing of Nasrallah has sparked fears that cross-border tensions are on the verge of exploding into a wider conflict, with the Lebanese population sharply divided on the role Hezbollah plays in their politics.

1. If there isn't a strong state that can take action against the centrifugal forces in its own country and institutions, then an oligarchic system can easily emerge in which everyone serves themselves.
Israel Defense Forces
1. The strike was conducted while Hezbollah's senior chain of command was operating from the headquarters and advancing terrorist activities against citizens of the state of Israel.

Israel Defense Forces
1. We've seen Hezbollah carry out attacks against us for a year. It's safe to assume that they are going to continue carrying out their attacks against us, or try to.
Yoav Galant
Israeli Defense Ministry
1. To the people of Lebanon, I say: 'Our war is not with you. It's time for change.'
Benjamin Netanyahu
Israeli Government
1. We will fight until we achieve victory, total victory. There is no substitute for it.
2. As long as Hezbollah chooses the path of war, Israel has no choice, and Israel has every right to remove this threat and return our citizens to their home safe.
3. We'll continue degrading Hezbollah until all our objectives are met.
4. I have a message for the tyrants of Tehran. If you strike us, we will strike you.
5. Israel is doing what every sovereign state would do to protect its people.
6. If Hamas stays in power, it will regroup ... and attack Israel again and again and again ... So Hamas has got to go.
7. We are winning. We are determined to continue striking our enemies, returning our residents to their homes and bringing back all our hostages. We do not forget them for a moment.
8. The more (Hamas leader Yahya) Sinwar sees that Hezbollah will no longer come to his aid, the greater the chances of returning our captives.
9. All the hostility directed at Israel this year — it's not about Gaza; it's about Israel. It's always been about Israel. About Israel's very existence. And I say to you, until Israel, until the Jewish state, is treated like other nations, until this antisemitic swamp is drained, the UN will be viewed by fair-minded people everywhere as nothing more than a contemptuous farce.
Iranian Embassy
1. This reprehensible crime... represents a dangerous escalation that changes the rules of the game.
Mohammad Reza Aref
1. We warn the leaders of the occupying regime that the unjust bloodshed... especially of Hezbollah's secretary general, martyr Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah, will bring about their destruction.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
Shia
1. Some of the effective and valuable members of Hezbollah were martyred.
