Applause on Beach in Israel as Life Guard Announces Nasrallah Has Been Killed

Israeli beach-goers cheered and clapped Saturday as a life guard shared the military's announcement that it had killed Lebanon's Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

There was no immediate confirmation from Hezbollah.

If the claim is true, Nasrallah is by far the most powerful target to be killed by Israel in weeks of intensified fighting with Hezbollah.

The army said that several top Hezbollah commanders were killed along with Nasrallah in a powerful airstrike Friday at the group’s headquarters in Beirut.
