Hezbollah marks second anniversary of Hassan Nasrallah's death
On the second anniversary of his death, Hezbollah and its supporters are commemorating former Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah. In Lebanon, Palestinian scouts and residents held a march in Beirut to honor his legacy, particularly his support for the Palestinian cause. Hezbollah is also organizing memorial ceremonies at his burial site.
Nasrallah was killed by Israeli airstrikes on September 27, 2024, targeting an underground headquarters in Beirut’s southern suburbs. The assassination occurred amidst a period of intense military escalation and a failed international diplomatic effort led by the United States and France to implement a 21-day ceasefire, which Israel rejected.
Following Nasrallah's death, Sheikh Naim Qassem has assumed the role of Secretary-General. Under Qassem's leadership, Hezbollah is undergoing structural and military transformations while facing significant political pressure regarding state sovereignty and the group's role in Lebanon's post-war landscape.
