Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was reportedly killed in an Israeli airstrike last year while inside the militant group's war operations room. The incident took place on September 27, 2023, when a series of Israeli airstrikes targeted several buildings in Beirut’s southern suburbs, resulting in the death of Nasrallah and six other individuals.
Nasrallah, who had led Hezbollah for 32 years, was said to be meeting with other senior officials underground at the time of the attack. The assassination of Nasrallah escalated the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, leading to a two-month-long all-out war that devastated much of southern and eastern Lebanon until a ceasefire brokered by the United States took effect on November 27.
