Israel carried out a large strike on Beirut바카라s southern suburbs on Friday, targeting Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and resulting in the destruction of at least six residential buildings.

In a statement, Hezbollah confirmed that Nasrallah had been killed 바카라following the treacherous Zionist strike,바카라 declaring that he had 바카라joined his great and immortal martyred comrades, whose path he led for nearly 30 years.바카라 The group vowed to honor his legacy, pledging 바카라to the highest, most sacred and most precious martyr in our journey바카라 to continue their jihad against Israel in support of Gaza and Palestine, and in defense of Lebanon and its steadfast and honorable people.
The killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut has prompted a wide range of reactions, reflecting the ongoing tensions in the region.
