  • Story Text: In his final speech, which took place on September 19, Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah denounced the deadly Israeli attacks that blew up radios and pagers across Lebanon, describing it as a potential "declaration of war".
    The leader vowed retaliation for the attacks, saying they would "be met with a just punishment".
    On Saturday (September 28), the Israeli military announced they had killed Nasrallah in an airstrike on the group's central headquarters a day earlier (September 27).
    During Nasrallah's decades in charge, Hezbollah has grown into a regional force that has projected Tehran's influence across the Middle East.
    His death would not only mark an enormous blow to Hezbollah, but also to Iran, whose Revolutionary Guards founded the group in 1982.
