Israel never spares its enemies. It goes to any extent to destroy them completely. Israel is advancing with the same policy to eliminate Hezbollah, claiming success in killing Nasrallah, who had led Hezbollah for 32 years. Before Nasrallah, Israel had eliminated all top Hezbollah commanders. On Saturday, the IDF also conducted several attacks in Beirut, Lebanon.
IDF Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi stated in a video message that their fight with Hezbollah will continue. Hezbollah Chief Hassan Nasrallah was killed because he wanted to destroy Israel. He mentioned challenging days are ahead, and their forces remain fully alert on all fronts. Nasrallah had targeted Israeli civilians indiscriminately, seeking Israel's annihilation.
Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi proclaimed that the IDF would permanently neutralize the Hezbollah threat. He declared, "We will continue to destroy the Hezbollah terrorist group. We are determined to keep fighting. Our objective is to dismantle terrorist organizations and their capabilities and to bring back the hostages from Gaza. Ensuring safe return home for residents in the north and south is included. We will make every effort for this."
On August 25, as Hezbollah Chief Hassan Nasrallah was threatening Israel, he perhaps didn’t realize he had only a few days left. Israel’s military buried him right in his headquarters. Now, he will never threaten Israel again. To ensure his death, Israel left no stone unturned. The IDF dropped 80 tons of bombs on the building under which Nasrallah was hiding.
With 80 one-ton bombs dropped, the building was flattened, and Nasrallah was killed. Israel released an audio message from the team that eliminated Nasrallah. It included Israeli fighter pilots saying before bombing Hezbollah's headquarters, "We will find our enemies anywhere." Thus, within two months, Israel completely dismantled Hezbollah's leadership.
Hassan Nasrallah had led Iran-backed Hezbollah since 1992 when he was just 32 years old. Born on August 31, 1960, he joined a rebel group against Israel at 15. Hezbollah was formed in 1982, with Nasrallah as one of its founding members. He became its leader in 1992. In 2006, under his leadership, Israel was driven out of Lebanon.
Nasrallah's death can be seen as the biggest setback for Hezbollah. The group, seeking Israel's destruction, views Hezbollah as a more formidable enemy compared to Hamas. Nasrallah amassed a significant arsenal, including missiles capable of striking deep into Israeli territory and thousands of terrorists. But Israel has broken their backbone.
By eliminating its enemy right at home, Israel has sent a direct warning to all its adversaries, showing it will leave no stone unturned to destroy them. Hassan Nasrallah’s death has left his supporters in Lebanon in despair. They struggle to believe that Nasrallah, who once drove out Israel from Lebanon, could be killed in an Israeli attack. This disbelief led to tears in a local news anchor’s eyes as she announced his death.
