Israel claims to have killed Hassan Nasrallah, who took over leadership of Hezbollah in 1992, in an airstrike on Lebanon's capital.
Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, leader of the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, has been killed, according to Israel's military. Nasrallah, whose death has not been confirmed by Hezbollah, led the group through decades of conflict with Israel, overseeing its transformation into a military force with sway in the Middle East and becoming one of the most prominent Arab figures in generations.
After years of entanglements elsewhere, the conflict put renewed focus on Hezbollah's historic struggle with Israel. "We are here paying the price for our front of support for Gaza, and for the Palestinian people, and our adoption of the Palestinian cause," Nasrallah said in a speech on 1 August. Nasrallah grew up in Beirut's impoverished Karantina district.
