Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah's leader, became an icon after leading a successful war against Israel in 2000, resonating with disillusioned Arabs seeking genuine leadership.
Nasrallah's portrayal as a relatable leader, engaging as if in a cafe, engaged the ordinary Arab, contrasting starkly with other Lebanese leaders.
The death of Nasrallah's son, Hadi, fighting the Israeli army, reinforced his image as a leader dedicated to the same sacrifices he demanded from others.
For over 20 years, Nasrallah evaded public appearances, relying on televised addresses to communicate with his followers, due to constant assassination threats.
