Deep sorrow
Khamenei expressed grief over the death of Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Lebanon’s Hezbollah and one of its founding members, and said it made me very sad.
We are mourning these days. I am particularly deeply saddened. The tragedy that happened was no small one. Loss of Mr. Syed Hasan #Nasrullah Very important, and it really saddens us. — Khamenei.ir (@khamenei_ir) October 2, 2024
Hezbollah confirmed on Saturday that Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli airstrike in a southern suburb of Beirut.
The death of the longtime leader of the powerful militant group sent shockwaves across Lebanon and the Middle East, where he has been a dominant political and military figure for more than three decades.
Nasrallah, linked to numerous deadly attacks by Israel on Israeli and Jewish targets, had been on Israel’s hit list for decades. His killing is the largest and most consequential of targeted killings by Israel in years, and significantly escalates the war in the Middle East. Hezbollah is supported by Iran, Israel’s biggest regional rival.
