Hassan Nasrallah, the longtime leader of Hezbollah, was killed in a massive Israeli air attack on Beirut, marking the end of his 32-year leadership. His assassination has been confirmed by the Lebanon-based group.
While once hailed as a hero for standing up to Israel, Nasrallah's image shifted as Hezbollah aligned with Iran's military interests in Syria, leading to criticism from many Arab states and altering his perception as a leader.
Despite controversies, including Hezbollah's alleged role in Rafik Hariri's assassination, Nasrallah maintained significant support from Lebanon's Shia Muslim community, who viewed him as a religious and political leader, underpinning his complex legacy.
Nasrallah's early life was marked by political influences, notably through his admiration for Shia scholar Musa al-Sadr, shaping his future engagements with politics and community leadership, which ultimately elevated him to prominence within Hezbollah.
