Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli air attack, confirmed by the group. Nasrallah was a hero in Lebanon after the 2006 war with Israel but faced criticism for supporting Assad in Syria. He was also linked to the assassination of Rafik Hariri. Nasrallah was born in 1960 and split from Amal in 1982 to form Hezbollah with Iranian support. He became Hezbollah’s leader in 1992 and was known for his emotional speeches. Nasrallah’s charisma extended beyond Lebanon thanks to Hezbollah’s media apparatus. Despite facing challenges like clashes with protesters, Hezbollah remained strong under his leadership. Nasrallah’s death leaves a void in Lebanon and raises questions about the future of Hezbollah. A new leader will need to decide on the group’s direction, impacting Lebanon and the wider region.
