28.09.2024The Day Hezbollah's Leader Fell

Israeli airstrikes in Beirut reportedly killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, a claim initially made by the IDF and later confirmed by Hezbollah.

International reactions varied, with some leaders praising the operation while others condemned it. The U.S. called it "a measure of justice" but urged restraint. Iran reported one of its senior commanders was also killed in the strike. As the day progressed, attention turned to the potential for retaliation and further conflict. Meanwhile, Hurricane Helene continued to wreak havoc across the Southeast, with the death toll rising to over 50 by evening.
