Hezbollah leader killed in Israeli airstrike, sending shockwaves through Lebanon and the Middle East

Quick Summary:

BEIRUT—Lebanon’s Hezbollah group confirmed on Saturday that its leader and one of its founding members, Hassan Nasrallah, was killed in an Israeli airstrike in a southern suburb of Beirut.

Hezbollah started firing rockets on Israel in support of Gaza on Oct.8, a day after Hamas militants launched an unprecedented attack on Israel, killing some 1,200 people and abducting another 250.

Israel has killed several other top Hezbollah commanders in Beirut, especially in the past two weeks, in addition to the attack that killed Nasrallah.
