Itself that Hassan Nasrallah had been killed in what was a huge Air Strike Last Night here in the lebanese capital. We saw and heard the plume of smoke, we heard the repeated loud blast echoing across all the buildings you can see around me. We needed to wait over 12 hours for the confirmation. Israel said early on this morning they had killed Hassan Nasrallah. It was more a matter of waiting for hezbollah itself to make the confirmation before it became a 100 guaranteed report. It is a significant and pivotal moment not just for the conflict, but for the wider Middle East. The repercussions of what has happened here will have an impact notjust on the continued fighting between israel and lebanon, but also on the wider part of the region as well. Now, strikes have continued today here in beirut. I want to show you the strikes that have been going on in lebanon.

Behind irans evil axis. He and his men were the architects of the plan to destroy israel. He was not only operated by iran, many times he operated iran. This is why earlier this week i arrived at the conclusion that the hard blow that israel had landed hezbollah over the last few days would not be enough. Nasrallah must be killed in Orderfor Israel to nasrallah must be killed in order for israel to achieve the goals we have defined, enabling the reSidents of Northern Israel to return safely to their homes and affecting the long Term Change in the balance of powers in this region, because as long as nasrallah was alive, he would have quickly rehabilitated hezbollah s capabilities. This is why i have given the Order And Nasrallah is no longer with us. His death brings us closer to enabling our people to go back to their homes in the north and brings us closer to returning our hostages in the south.
