A video has emerged on social media showing a Lebanese television anchor breaking down in tears during a live broadcast announcing the killing of Sayyed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
The visibly shaken anchor struggles to find her words as she delivers the news, revealing that Nasrallah, the secretary general of the Hezbollah group, was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Friday.
In the footage, her emotions are palpable as she fights to maintain her composure while sharing the announcement. Reports indicate that the anchor works for Al Mayadeen, a media outlet associated with Hezbollah, as noted in a post circulating on the social media platform X.
Several posts on X, erstwhile Twitter, accompanying the video stated, “A news anchor on Al-Mayadeen, seen crying following the announcement that Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah, was killed yesterday by an Israeli airstrike.”
Aaj News could not independently verify the authenticity of the video.
On Saturday, Lebanon’s Hezbollah confirmed the death of its leader, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and pledged to persist in its struggle against Israel.

This confirmation follows Israel’s announcement that it had killed Nasrallah in an airstrike targeting Beirut’s southern suburbs a day earlier. His death represents a significant setback for Hezbollah, which is already grappling with a series of escalating Israeli assaults.
Nasrallah’s passing is not only a major loss for Hezbollah but also for its supporters in Iran, where he was a prominent figure in the Tehran-backed “Axis of Resistance,” which aimed to expand Iranian influence throughout the Middle East.
Israel conducted a series of airstrikes on Beirut early Saturday, continuing the assault that began the previous day. These strikes were described as the most intense Israel has carried out on the city amid ongoing hostilities with Hezbollah, which have been occurring alongside the conflict in Gaza for nearly a year.
