Israel’s Defense Forces (IDF) said Nasrallah, who led the Iran-backed militant group for more than three decades, was killed on Friday as fighter jets conducted what it described as a “targeted strike” on Hezbollah’s headquarters in Lebanon’s capital of Beirut.

The Israeli army on Saturday officially announced the killing of Hezbollah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah, one day after carrying out a large-scale attack on Lebanon.

“Hassan Nasrallah is dead,” Israeli army spokesperson Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani said via social media.

Israel’s Defense Forces (IDF) said Nasrallah, who led the Iran-backed terrorist group for more than three decades, was killed on Friday as fighter jets conducted what it described as a “targeted strike” on Hezbollah’s headquarters in Lebanon’s capital of Beirut.

Among other Hezbollah commanders, the IDF said Ali Karki, the commander of Hezbollah’s southern front, was also killed in the strike.
