**Israeli Strike Kills Hezbollah Leader Hassan Nasrallah and Iranian Commander in Major Escalation** In a significant escalation in the conflict between Israel and Iran's proxies, Hezbollah confirmed on Saturday the death of its leader, Hassan Nasrallah, in an Israeli strike. The strike, which targeted Hezbollah's headquarters in Lebanon, also resulted in the killing of a senior Iranian commander, Brig. Gen. Abbas Nilofouroshan. The attack has raised questions about the future of the conflict in the region. While Iran has not taken direct retaliatory action following the strike, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei expressed support for Hezbollah. The death of Nasrallah has left the group weakened and has implications for future cease-fire negotiations between Israel and Hezbollah. The killing of Nasrallah, a prominent figure in the Middle East's anti-Israel forces, marks a significant blow to Hezbollah, which he led since 1992. The conflict began with missile attacks by Hezbollah following hostilities initiated by Hamas, leading to displacement and casualties in both countries. In response to Nasrallah's death, reactions varied from mourning by Hezbollah supporters to celebrations by anti-Hezbollah groups. The development has stirred unease in Lebanon and worries of internal strife among some. Outside of Lebanon, there were expressions of joy in parts of Syria over the news. The Israeli military has continued airstrikes in Lebanon, targeting not only Hezbollah leaders but also their arsenals. Israel remains vigilant and has imposed restrictions on mass gatherings in anticipation of potential retaliation. The death of Nasrallah has far-reaching implications for the region's ongoing conflicts and diplomatic efforts, with uncertainty about the future dynamics in the Middle East.
