Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli airstrike on the group's Beirut headquarters, escalating tensions in the region. Nasrallah’s funeral is set for Friday, and Lebanon has declared five days of mourning. Protests erupted across Iran, with demonstrators demanding revenge. Following the airstrike, Lebanon fired over 100 rockets at northern Israel, though no injuries were reported. The Israeli military also announced it had killed a Hezbollah intelligence leader. Nasrallah’s cousin, Hashem Safieddine, will succeed him as Hezbollah chief. International appeals for restraint continue as the conflict deepens.
