Reuters reports that the body of Hassan Nasrallah, the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, who was killed in an Israeli attack on Beirut on Friday, has been pulled from the rubble. Reuters noted that Nasrallah had no visible wounds and likely died from the impact of the blast wave. Daniel Hagari, a spokesperson for the Israeli army, stated on Saturday that the death of Hassan Nasrallah makes the world a 'safer place.' He pointed out that Nasrallah was killed in a 'precise attack' by Israeli defense forces on Hezbollah's central headquarters in Beirut while he was commanding imminent attacks against the people of Israel. Hagari described Nasrallah as 'one of Israel's greatest enemies of all time,' who had been a threat to Israeli citizens for decades, with the blood of countless men, women, and children from Israel and other countries, including the USA, UK, France, Lebanon, Syria, and other victims across the Middle East and beyond on his hands. He stated that Hezbollah began its attacks on Israel a day after Hamas's assault and had committed to planning and executing an attack similar to the 'October 7 massacre' on a 'larger scale' at the northern borders of the country. Hagari added that fighter jets are currently targeting this group throughout Lebanon. He emphasized that Hezbollah has greater capabilities, saying, 'This is not over.' After the Israeli army reported on Saturday, October 7, that Hassan Nasrallah was killed in the Israeli attack on the southern suburbs of Beirut, Hezbollah finally confirmed the death of its Secretary-General in these attacks. Hassan Nasrallah was the third Secretary-General of Hezbollah after Subhi al-Tufayli and Abbas Musawi and was one of the most loyal commanders of the Islamic Republic's proxy forces to Ali Khamenei. In one of his most famous speeches to the people of Iran and the world, he stated, 'I say clearly to the world, the budget and expenses for food, weapons, and missiles of Hezbollah come from the Islamic Republic of Iran, and no sanctions will affect this process.' The Israeli army: 'We are on alert for a broader conflict.' The New York Times: Israel knew about Nasrallah's location months before the attack. Hezbollah confirmed Nasrallah's death. France: Our intelligence assessment indicates Nasrallah has been killed. Reuters: Khamenei has been moved to a 'safe place.' Netanyahu: Enemies thought we were like a spider's web, but we have steel tendons. Biden ordered American forces to be on standby following Israel's heavy attack on Hezbollah positions. The founder of Hezbollah called for the trial and punishment of the leader of the Islamic Republic.
