Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah killed in missile attack on Hezbollah headquarters in Dahiya suburb near Beirut
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, age 64, was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Friday, September 27, 2024 Dahiya in suburban Beirut, Lebanon.
“Moments ago, the Israel Defense Forces carried out a precise strike on the Central Headquarters of the Hezbollah terror organization…taking the necessary action to protect our people so that Israeli families can live in their homes, safely and securely.”
Listen to IDF Spokesperson RAdm. Daniel Hagari’s full statement on the precise strike conducted on Hezbollah’s Central Headquarters.
Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of an evil terrorist organization; the senior terrorists eliminated with him, and the central headquarters they were in, were legitimate military targets under international law. Nasrallah intentionally built Hezbollah’s central headquarters under residential buildings in Dahiya, Beirut—because Hezbollah intentionally uses Lebanese civilians as human shields. While Hezbollah seeks to maximize civilian harm, Israel seeks to minimize it.
