The Israeli military has claimed it killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in an airstrike on Beirut.

The Israeli Defense Forces stated that Nasrallah would no longer be a threat to the world. The airstrike, which targeted Hezbollah’s headquarters, took place late on Friday. Nasrallah led the group for around 30 years and played a significant role in its rise to power. Reports indicate that other high-ranking commanders also died in the strike. Israel’s military chief noted that this attack had been planned for a long time and that they had additional tactics to deal with threats to Israeli citizens.

The situation is tense, as Hezbollah hasn’t yet confirmed Nasrallah’s death, and there are concerns about possible retaliation. Many in Israel are anxious to see how Hezbollah will respond. The outcome of this situation could significantly affect the ongoing conflict in the region.

Difficult words: high-ranking (having a senior or important position in a particular hierarchy), tactics (a carefully planned action or strategy to achieve a specific end), retaliation (revenge or response to an attack).
