Impact of Nasrallah’s Death on Israel-Hezbollah Relations
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli airstrike on September 27, 2024, in Beirut, Lebanon. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that the strike targeted Nasrallah and other senior Hezbollah commanders in a series of blasts that destroyed their underground command center.
This event marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. Nasrallah had been a central figure in Hezbollah for over three decades, leading the group to become a major political and militant force in Lebanon.
The death of Nasrallah has raised concerns about potential retaliatory actions by Hezbollah and its allies, including Iran. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei urged Muslims to support Hezbollah in confronting Israel.
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to continue Israel’s military operations against Hezbollah, which Israel sees as a major threat in the region
