Hezbollah Secretary-General (SG) Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has been killed in an Israeli strike, the group said on Saturday.
Earlier the Israeli military had stated that it had killed Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in an airstrike on the group’s central headquarters in the southern suburbs of Beirut a day earlier.
Hezbollah’s Al-Manar TV began airing verses from the Holy Quran after his death was announced.
Hezbollah said it would continue its battle against Israel “in support of Gaza and Palestine, and in defence of Lebanon and its steadfast and honourable people”.
Iran, which arms and finances Hezbollah, said a senior member of its Revolutionary Guard Corps was killed in the same strike. IRNA news agency reported General Abbas Nilforoushan, deputy commander of the Guards’ operations, died in the strike that killed Nasrallah.
