Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, who led the terror group for more than 30 years, was killed in an Israeli airstrike. Nasrallah, 64, was killed during a massive airstrike on the Iran-backed group's "central headquarters" in Beirut, Lebanon on Friday, the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement.

Hezbollah confirmed Saturday its longtime leader Hassan Nasrallah—the target of Israel’s aerial bombardment on the group’s Beirut headquarters—was killed during the strike, a major victory for Israel but a further escalation in the conflict.
