Hassan Nasrallah: Terror chief made Hezbollah a regional force, ignored Israeli warnings. Lebanese cleric, 64, was threatening public face of anti-Israel Hezbollah terror group founded by Iran. Was killed by IDF after intensifying rocket attacks on north since Oct. 8 By Agencies and ToI Staff September 28, 2024.
Hezbollah terror chief Hassan Nasrallah, who led the Iranian-backed terror group through decades of conflict with Israel, was killed in an airstrike in Beirut on September 27, the Israel Defense Forces has confirmed.
Born in the Shia suburbs of Beirut in 1960, the radical Lebanese cleric oversaw Hezbollah’s transformation into a military force with regional sway to become one of the most prominent Arab figures in generations. An astute strategist, Nasrallah reshaped Hezbollah into an archenemy of Israel, cementing alliances with Shiite religious leaders in Iran and Palestinian terror groups such as Hamas.
Nasrallah became secretary general of Hezbollah in 1992 at just 35, the public face of a once shadowy group founded by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in 1982 to fight Israel. It was the first group that Iran backed and used as a way to export its brand of political Islam.
Despite the power he wielded, Nasrallah lived largely in hiding for fear of an Israeli assassination. Israel killed his predecessor, Sayyed Abbas al-Musawi, in a helicopter attack. Nasrallah led Hezbollah when the IDF withdrew its forces from southern Lebanon in 2000, after 18 years.
Nasrallah grew up in Beirut’s impoverished Karantina district. His family hails from Bazouriyeh, a village in Lebanon’s predominantly Shiite south which today forms Hezbollah’s political heartland.
He is part of a generation of young Lebanese Shiites whose political outlook was shaped by Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Before leading the group, he used to spend nights with frontline guerrillas fighting Israel in the so-called security stone that the IDF had set up inside southern Lebanon to distance terror groups from the border. His 18-year-old son, Hadi, a Hezbollah fighter, was killed with three other gunmen in an Israeli ambush in 1997, a loss that gave him legitimacy among his core Shiite constituency in Lebanon.
He was targeted on Friday in an Israeli attack on Hezbollah’s main underground headquarters that rocked Beirut, the latest in an escalating series of blows over 10 days that have shaken the group he has led for 32 years.
Nasrallah was unreachable following Israel’s strikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs on Friday evening, a source close to the Lebanese armed group initially told Reuters. His death was confirmed on Saturday morning by the IDF. Hours after the strikes, Hezbollah had not made a statement on his fate.
Among supporters, Nasrallah was lauded for standing up to Israel and defying the United States. To enemies, he was head of a terrorist organization seeking to destroy the Jewish state and a proxy for Iran’s rapacious Shiite Islamist theocracy in its tussle for influence in the Middle East.
His regional influence has been on display over nearly a year of conflict ignited by the Gaza war, as Hezbollah entered the fray by firing on Israel from southern Lebanon in support of its Palestinian ally Hamas, and Yemeni and Iraqi groups followed suit, operating under the umbrella of “The Axis of Resistance.”
Hezbollah began firing rockets at Israel on October 8, the day after the Hamas massacre in southern Israel that killed 1,200 people and took 251 hostages.
“We are facing a great battle,” Nasrallah said in an August 1 speech at the funeral of Hezbollah’s top military commander, Fuad Shukr, who was killed in an Israeli strike on the Hezbollah-controlled southern suburbs of Beirut.
Yet when thousands of Hezbollah members were injured and dozens killed, when their communications devices exploded in an apparent Israeli attack last week, that battle began to turn against his group. Israel has not commented on the attack, even though it was widely blamed for it.
Responding to the attacks on Hezbollah’s communications network in a September 19 speech, Nasrallah vowed to punish Israel.
“This is a reckoning that will come, its nature, its size, how and where? This is certainly what we will keep to ourselves and in the narrowest circle even within ourselves,” he said. He did not have a broadcast address since then.
Charismatic orator.
Recognized even by his enemies as a charismatic orator, Nasrallah’s speeches were followed by friend and foe alike.
Wearing the black turban of a sayyed, or a descendent of the .. Mohammad, Nasrallah used his addresses to rally Hezbollah’s base but also to deliver carefully calibrated threats, often wagging his finger as he did so.
Conflict with Israel has largely defined his leadership. He declared “Divine Victory” in 2006 after Hezbollah waged 34 days of war with Israel, winning the respect of many ordinary Arabs who had grown up watching Israel defeat their armies.
But he became an increasingly divisive figure in Lebanon and the wider Arab world as Hezbollah’s area of operations widened to Syria and beyond, reflecting an intensifying conflict between Shiite Iran and US-allied Sunni Arab monarchies in the Gulf.
While Nasrallah painted Hezbollah’s engagement in Syria — where it fought in support of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad during the civil war — as a campaign against jihadists, critics accused the group of becoming part of a regional sectarian conflict.
At home, Nasrallah’s critics said Hezbollah’s regional adventurism imposed an unbearable price on Lebanon, leading once-friendly Gulf Arabs to shun the country — a factor that contributed to its 2019 financial collapse.
In the years following the 2006 war, Nasrallah walked a tightrope over a new conflict with Israel, stockpiling tens of thousands of Iranian rockets and missiles to form a deterrent “balance of terror” in a carefully measured contest of threat and counter-threat.
The Gaza war, ignited by the October 7 Hamas invasion and slaughter in southern Israel, prompted Hezbollah’s worst conflict with Israel since 2006, after the terrorist organization began raining down barrages of projectiles and drones on northern Israel. Some 60,000 Israelis have been forced from their homes, and Israel stepped up its attacks on Hezbollah in a declared effort to enable their return. The IDF’s retaliation to the Hezbollah strikes has cost the terror group hundreds of its fighters, including many of its top commanders.
After years of entanglements elsewhere, the conflict put renewed focus on Hezbollah’s historic struggle with Israel.
“We are here paying the price for our front of support for Gaza, and for the Palestinian people, and our adoption of the Palestinian cause,” Nasrallah said in the August 1 speech.
Powerful enemies – and a powerful protector. Nasrallah had a track record of threatening powerful enemies.
As regional tensions escalated after the eruption of the Gaza war, Nasrallah issued a thinly veiled warning to US warships in the Mediterranean, telling them: “We have prepared for the fleets with which you threaten us.”
In 2020, Nasrallah vowed that US soldiers would leave the region in coffins after Iranian general Qassem Soleimani — head of the Quds Force of the IRGC, a US-designated terror group — was killed in a US drone strike in Iraq.
He expressed fierce opposition to Saudi Arabia over its armed intervention in Yemen, where, with US and other allied support, Riyadh sought to roll back the Iran-aligned Houthis.

As regional tensions rose in 2019 following an attack on Saudi oil facilities, he said Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates should halt the Yemen war to protect themselves.
“Don’t bet on a war against Iran because they will destroy you,” he said in a message directed at Riyadh.
On Nasrallah’s watch, Hezbollah also clashed with adversaries at home in Lebanon.
In 2008, he accused the Lebanese government — backed at the time by the West and Saudi Arabia — of declaring war by moving to ban his group’s internal communication network. Nasrallah vowed to “cut off the hand” that tried to dismantle it.
It prompted four days of civil war pitting Hezbollah against Sunni and Druze fighters, and the Shiite group to take over half the capital Beirut.
He strongly denied any Hezbollah involvement in the 2005 assassination of former Lebanese prime minister Rafik al-Hariri, after a UN-backed tribunal indicted four members of the group.
Nasrallah rejected the tribunal — which in 2020 eventually convicted three of them in absentia over the assassination — as a tool in the hands of Hezbollah’s enemies.
Israel in recent days and weeks had vowed to gradually escalate its attacks on Hezbollah unless it halted its rocket fire and entered a diplomatic process for withdrawing its forces deeper into Lebanon. Nasrallah ignored the threat and the escalating attacks.
On Friday, in a speech to the UN General Assembly, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel “must defeat” Hezbollah.
“It has tentacles that span all continents. It has murdered more Americans and more Frenchmen than any group except Bin Laden,” he said. “And it has attacked Israel viciously over the last 20 years.”
“In the last year, completely unprovoked,” he went on, Hezbollah’s attacks “turned vibrant towns in the north of Israel into ghost towns… Israel has been tolerating this intolerable situation for nearly a year. Well, I’ve come here today to say enough is enough.”
Shortly before delivering the speech, Netanyahu had approved the deadly strike on Nasrallah. TOI

Who was Hassan Nasrallah? The profile of a terror leader. Hassan Nasrallah began his journey in terror at the age of 16, and headed the Hezbollah terror organization for 32 years. He is responsible for the murder of thousands of American, Lebanese, and Israeli civilians. Israel National News. Sep 28, 2024, 8:15 PM (GMT+3)
In a Friday afternoon operation, the IDF eliminated Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah during an airstrike in Lebanon.
In 1976, at the age of 16, Hassan Nasrallah traveled to Iraq where he met Abbas al-Musawim, who later served as the Secretary-General of the Hezbollah terrorist organization, and he joined the Shia Islamic movement, the Dawa Party, many of whose members later joined Hezbollah.
In 1982, he left the Amal Movement and, with the help of other Shia Islamic figures and Iranian support, established the Hezbollah terrorist organization, in which he obtained a senior position among Hezbollah’s founders. Shortly after, he was given responsibility for the Beqaa area, at just 22 years old.
In 1985, he was appointed as the Deputy Chairman of the Beirut Council, one of the three branches of the organization at that time, and quickly became the organization's military leader in the city. Additionally, he served as a member of Hezbollah's Political Bureau.
In 1987, he was appointed Head of the Operational Executive Council of the organization, and became a member of Hezbollah's Supreme Council. Following the elimination of Hezbollah leader Abbas Musawi, Nasrallah was appointed to replace him at just 32 years old, and has since served as the leader of the Hezbollah terrorist organization.
During his 32 years as Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah was responsible for the murder of numerous Israeli civilians and soldiers, planning and executing thousands of terrorist actions against Israeli citizens and others around the world. He served as the central decision-maker of all strategic decisions within the terrorist organization. INN
Opinion: Eliminating Nasrallah: Israel's genius line of moves.
A new order now prevails in the Middle East, and an Iranian response will only worsen its already precarious situation. However, in order to eliminate the threat from the north, the IDF must operate on the ground in Lebanon, and its destruction will only come by taking territory. By Boaz Haetzni. 25 of Elul 5784. (09/28/2024 21:32)
Eliminating Nasrallah: Israel's genius line of moves.
Some preliminary insights into the "New Order" in the Middle East.
Within two weeks, Israel managed to break into pieces the most significant Iranian arm , in a series of moves that the word "genius" is a few measures short of.
-Nasrallah and the top left of the organization would not come together to the headquarters for the meeting . This was made possible by a deception exercise from the most sophisticated in the history of talks about a ceasefire and Netanyahu's trip, who gave a rather banal speech at the UN. They thought that against the background of global pressures to stop the war, and to take the foot off the gas that was manifested in Netanyahu's trip, it would be possible to come to the headquarters and enjoy the speech. They were a little wrong.
-It was impossible to go out to eliminate Nasrallah when his entire system was in place, because we would have taken unimaginable amounts of missiles on our heads and paid huge prices. We had to first deal a fatal blow to their precise and long-range launch capabilities.
-It was impossible to break these capabilities as long as Radwan's force sat on the border and was able to invade the Galilee. It was necessary to hurt him significantly. Indeed, most of his commanders were eliminated with Ibrahim Akil in Beirut.
-It was impossible to carry out this elimination as long as Hezbollah was an organized and hierarchical organization with enormous capabilities. The top command of the organization had to be hit and this was done by the unbelievable operation of the pagers and walkie-talkies. The loss of trust in electronic means of communication meant that they had to gather together, and there they were eliminated together, again and again.
All of this could not have been accomplished without intelligence at an unprecedented level, through which Israel simply knows everything and only chooses the timing of each action. All this could not have been accomplished without the imaginative capabilities of the Air Force. It was impossible to do this if they did not prepare enough armaments for Lebanon in advance, and probably for Iran as well, and not be dependent on American pressure. In Gaza they underestimated Hamas and did not prepare anything, and there a dependency was created. In Lebanon it is a completely different story. And this is the place to compliment the Aman, the Mossad, the IDF, all the commanders, the government and the prime minister. Yes, yes, all those reviled, quite rightly, should now receive applause when it comes, and the day is very, very coming.
One of the results of the new situation is that Israel announced through the communication of the Beirut airport control tower that it must not allow an approaching Iranian plane to land, and on the order of the Lebanese Minister of Transport, who is a representative of Hezbollah, the plane turned around and returned. Someone new is handing out the instructions in Lebanon starting this morning.
Hezbollah is now reacting like a snake whose head has been cut off. Twisting, twisting but not really existing. Of course, now we must finish the work, destroy the missile stockpiles, eliminate the operatives, and change the situation on the ground. Iran must not be allowed to rebuild this monster.
The security of the north will only come after the IDF enters Lebanon by ground. First of all, the firing of the short-range rockets, 0-13 km, is the most massive, because these rockets are small, cheap, easy to hide and difficult to destroy, therefore only ground entry will stop the shooting This will remove the danger of invasion and kidnapping.
Israel, like it or not, must place the border on the Litani River, which is a natural and defensible border, in contrast to the current absurd line established more than a century ago by France and Great Britain for their imperialist considerations, and is dangerous for Israel. Israel has been suffering from Lebanon for 50 years of shelling and terrorist attacks, so it is justified in taking territory that will ensure that this stops.
By the way, until Litani this is the northern part of the Upper Galilee, part of Eretz Israel, it's time to settle this account as well. Shiite residents who have been poisoned for 24 years by Hezbollah's education system must not remain in this area. There is a price for attacks, shelling, and plots and threats of annihilation. The law of the territory up to the litany is the law of the Golan Heights. There is no victory in the Middle East without taking territory, and this is another reason to do it. Likewise in Gaza.
After the fall of Hezbollah, the Shiites are exposed to the revenge of the Sunnis, and there is a situation that they will now receive the treatment they gave to the Sunnis in Syria and Lebanon. And now Iran stands naked in the middle of the field, entangled in a crazy dilemma.
Its main force, Hezbollah, is incompetent. She prepared him for the day when Israel would want to attack its nuclear facilities, and now he is gone. If it attacks, it will thereby give Israel a great reason to attack it, and it has no idea about the depth of Israel's intelligence and penetration into its systems, that is, it has an idea, and therefore it trembles and did not react to the elimination of the Niyya, despite the promises and the flags of revenge. If she doesn't attack, she is eliminated in the eyes of everyone who trusted her, all her allies, and that's after she oversaw the destruction of Hamas and Gaza.
This could also be the end of her dream of an empire which was supposed to be a continental continuum from Iran, through Iraq, Syria and Lebanon, to the Mediterranean Sea. All her investment went down the drain and was thwarted.
Iran, like many scum throughout history, used anti-Semitism to sneak its strengthening and conquests. As soon as someone speaks and acts against the Jews, he is forgiven in the world for every evil and injustice. Nazi Germany peacefully ruled most of Europe throughout the war years. They forgave her for everything because she did the work for them against the Jews.
Part of the European tolerance today for Muslims who take over their countries stems from the fact that Muslims are at the forefront of hatred and murder towards the Jews and Israel. The world saw this Nazi Germany resurrected in the form of Iran and shrugged its shoulders, because it wrapped the intensification with hatred of Israel and solemn promises of its destruction.
But here is the twist in the plot. The State of Israel could not but prepare accordingly, and prepared the response well, and it was this anti-Semitic exercise that led to its downfall. If she had not put Israel at the center of her goal, she could have realized this imperialist dream of hers without interruption.
This will perhaps be a lesson for the future for all scum, that it might actually be better not to mess with the Jews, according to the old rule "started with us, finished with the angel of death". Can you hear Hassan?
If Israel finishes the job in Lebanon and Gaza, its deterrence will be restored for many years, many countries will seek its proximity, the sales of the defense industry will skyrocket, and the effect of American pressure will also decrease, because if the immediate danger from Israel is removed, the threat level will decrease, and Israel's need for American assistance will not will be so desperate, all this together with the Israeli understanding of the need for as much independence as possible in the production of military equipment.

Biden and Harris call the Israeli strike killing Hezbollah’s Nasrallah a ‘measure of justice’. By Aamer Madhani and Matthew Lee Updated 3:25 PM EDT, September 28, 2024.
Rehoboth Beach, Del. (AP) — The Israeli strike that killed Hezbollah’s Hassan Nasrallah was a “measure of justice” for victims of a four-decade “reign of terror,” President Joe Biden said Saturday.
The comments came after Lebanon’s Hezbollah group confirmed earlier Saturday that Nasrallah, one of the group’s founders, was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut the previous day.
Biden noted that the operation to take out Nasrallah took place in the broader context of the conflict that began with Hamas’ massacre of Israelis on Oct. 7, 2023.
“Nasrallah, the next day, made the fateful decision to join hands with Hamas and open what he called a ‘northern front’ against Israel,” Biden said in a statement.
He also noted that Hezbollah under Nasrallah’s watch has been responsible for the deaths of thousands of Americans, Israelis and Lebanese.
Hezbollah attacks against U.S. interests include the truck bombing of the U.S. Embassy and multinational force barracks in Beirut in 1983 and the kidnapping of the Central Intelligence Agency chief of station in Beirut, who died while held captive. The U.S. said Hezbollah leaders armed and trained militias that carried out attacks on American forces during the war in Iraq. AP
'Today, Hezbollah’s victims have a measure of justice’: VP Harris echoes Biden’s approval of Nasrallah killing. By Jacob Magid. September 28, 2024, 9:01 pm
US Vice President Kamala Harris echoes President Joe Biden’s tepid approval of Israel’s assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah yesterday in Beirut.
“Hassan Nasrallah was a terrorist with American blood on his hands. Across decades, his leadership of Hezbollah destabilized the Middle East and led to the killing of countless innocent people in Lebanon, Israel, Syria, and around the world. Today, Hezbollah’s victims have a measure of justice,” Harris says in a statement.
“I have an unwavering commitment to the security of Israel. I will always support Israel’s right to defend itself against Iran and Iran-backed terrorist groups such as Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis,” she adds.
“President Biden and I do not want to see conflict in the Middle East escalate into a broader regional war. We have been working on a diplomatic solution along the Israel-Lebanon border so that people can safely return home on both sides of that border. Diplomacy remains the best path forward to protect civilians and achieve lasting stability in the region,” Harris concludes. TOI

IDF follow-up strikes eliminate Hezbollah missile unit, IRGC commanders - report. By Jerusalem Post Staff. 09/28/2024.
IDF strikes also targeted Hezbollah weapons depots and manufacturing sites in Beirut, Tyre, and the Bekaa Valley. IDF follow-up strikes on the Beirut suburb of Dahiya have eliminated a Hezbollah missile unit commander and his deputy and may have eliminated an IRGC commander, according to Israeli media early Saturday morning.
The IDF struck several targets across the country only hours after a strike on Beirut, which targeted and killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
The Israeli military that the commander of Hezbollah's missile unit, Muhammad Ali Ismail, and his deputy, Hossein Ahmed Ismail, had also been killed in southern Lebanon.
Ali Ismail was responsible for many attacks against Israel, including the launch of missiles toward the center of the country on September 25, according to Walla.
IDF strikes also targeted Hezbollah weapons depots and manufacturing sites in Beirut. The military had forewarned residents of these districts that they would need to evacuate immediately, only a few hours prior.
Hezbollah denied that the targeted buildings were used as weapons depots.
The IDF also launched a series of strikes on the area near the southern Lebanese city of Tyre after rockets had been launched at Safed.
Several hours later, the IDF updated that it had also struck Hezbollah targets in the Bekaa Valley.
IRGC commander eliminated. Additionally, IRGC commander Abbas Nilforoushan may have been eliminated in the IDF strike on the Beirut suburb Dahiya, according to Iranian media.
Nilforoushan was a key player in Iranian actions in the region, advising Hezbollah on military and diplomatic affairs, according to Khabar Online.
He is believed to have played a major role in crushing protests against the Iranian regime and fought with the Assad regime during the Syrian Civil War. JPost
