The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) says Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has been killed.

In a statement shared on the IDF’s X account, it says: “Hassan Nasrallah will no longer be able to terrorize the world.”

The statement follows a series of overnight strikes in Beirut which Israel said were targeting Nasrallah and other Hezbollah commanders.

The IDF’s Chief of Staff, Lt Gen. Herzi Halevi, has just sent a video message.

“The message is unequivocal, whoever threatens Israeli citizens we know how to get [them], in the north, south, or further away.”

This video clip was posted on the IDF’s social platforms shortly after it released a statement saying Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah had been killed.


Some more now on the IDF’s statement that the leader of Hezbollah has been killed.

Israeli Air Force jets “conducted a targeted strike on the central headquarters of the Hezbollah terrorist organization, which was located underground embedded under a residential building in the area of Dahiyeh in Beirut,” the IDF said.

“The strike was conducted while Hezbollah’s senior chain of command was operating from the headquarters and advancing terrorist activities against the citizens of the State of Israel.”

Hezbollah began firing on northern Israel the day after Hamas’ October 7 attack on the country. Around 60,000 Israelis have been forced from their homes, whom the Israeli government has committed to returning.

Last week, Israel massively ramped up its military campaign against Hezbollah, killing hundreds and displacing hundreds of thousands of civilians, according to the Lebanese government.
