Hezbollah has confirmed that its leader, Hassan Nasrallah, was killed in an Israeli airstrike. The IDF announce that the Hezbollah leader was killed in an airstrike on Friday, and the Lebanese group admitted as much Saturday morning.

In a statement, Hezbollah announced the death and promised to continue confronting Israel “in support of Gaza and in defense of Lebanon.” It is also being suggested that the organization might not announce the name of its new leader publicly in order to make it harder for Israel to target whoever takes over.
