Nasrallah killed in ‘mad’ 85 Ton Bombs on Beirut  

Hassan Nasrallah and his colleagues were killed Friday evening, after 85 bunker-busting bombs, each weighing a ton of explosives, dropped on the southern districts of Beirut.

Hezbollah officials confirmed the killing of its Secretary-General in the raids that targeted the party’s central command headquarters.

A party statement said, “His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary-General of Hezbollah, joined his great and immortal martyred comrades, whose path he led for nearly 30 years.”

His name and murder soon started to trend on the social media former Lebanese Prime Minister and leader of the “Future” Movement Saad Hariri saying the assassination of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah is a cowardly act condemned in its entirety by us, and it has led Lebanon and the region into a new phase of violence.

In its statement Hezbollah honored Nasrallah as a brave, wise, and courageous martyr, recognizing his lifelong dedication to the resistance movement.

Over the past three decades Nasrallah’s leadership was unique represented by his role in Hezbollah’s victories, from the liberation of Lebanon in 2000 to the 2006 war with Israel with the party praizing his unwavering support for Palestine and Gaza.

He led the resistance since 1992 building on the legacy of Sayyid Abbas al-Musawi the previous secretary-general and who was also assassinated by Israel on 16 February of that year.
