Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah’s social media account on X posted his last message before he died in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut.
“I may not stay among you for a long time. Procedures have been devised so that we are prepared,” he wrote in a social media post.
Lebanon’s Hezbollah confirmed on Saturday that its leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was killed and vowed to continue the battle against Israel.
Israel said earlier that it had killed the Hezbollah leader in an airstrike in Beirut’s southern suburbs a day earlier, in what would be a devastating blow to the group as it reels from an escalating campaign of Israeli attacks.
After Israeli airstrikes in Gaza and Lebanon, the Hezbollah leader vowed to “punish” Israel and defeat Benjamin Netanyahu’s government.
Friday’s airstrike on Dahiyeh shook Beirut. A security source in Lebanon said the attack — a quick succession of massively powerful blasts — had left a crater at least 20 meters deep.
Thousands of people have fled the area since Friday’s attack, congregating in squares, parks and sidewalks in downtown Beirut and seaside areas.
When Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Abbas Mussawi was killed in 1992, Nasrallah said: “They sought to kill our spirit of resistance. But his blood will continue to simmer in our veins, strengthening our determination and intensifying our enthusiasm to pursue his path…”

He also spoke on the same wavelength in his last address to his followers.
“Even if we are all martyred, even if our homes are destroyed over our heads, we will never abandon the option of Islamic resistance,” Nasrallah said.
