The statement read, “His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary General of Hezbollah, has joined his great, immortal martyr comrades whose path he led for nearly thirty years, during which he led them from victory to victory… We offer our condolences and congratulations to his fellow martyrs who joined his pure and holy procession following the treacherous Zionist raid on the southern suburb”.

The statement also added that the leadership of Hezbollah pledges to continue in “confronting the enemy in support of Gaza and Palestine, and in defense of Lebanon and its steadfast and honorable people”.

Reportedly, the strike that killed Nasrallah, also killed Ali Karki, the Commander of Hezbollah’s Southern Front. Rumours on Nasrallah’s death have been spreading recently, which Hezbollah denied. The group said their leader was safe.

The Israeli military has unleashed wide range of bombing campaign in Lebanon, in which mostly civilians were murdered. The death toll in the country crossed 700 since Tel Aviv started its indiscriminate bombing campaign in Beirut.

The Israeli army said it struck more than 140 Hezbollah targets since Friday evening, including infrastructure that was “embedded underneath residential buildings in the area of Beirut”.
