Hassan Nasrallah, the head of the Lebanese Shi'a terrorist organization Hezbollah, was killed in an attack conducted on Friday in the southern suburbs of Beirut.
"He will no longer terrorise the world" - announced the Israeli army in a social media post.
Hezbollah, confirming the death of their leader, stated that Nasrallah "joined his great and immortal martyred comrades, whose path he led for nearly 30 years".
On Monday, Hezbollah's deputy leader, Naim Qassem, announced continued fighting with Israel and called the previous attacks against Israel "the minimum." He conveyed that if Israel decides to start a ground offensive, Hezbollah fighters are ready to defend Lebanon.
Media: Nasrallah shook hands with the agent
Meanwhile, media outlets report behind-the-scenes preparations for the assassination of the Hezbollah leader. According to the Saudi portal Al Hadath, he was murdered after being covered with a chemical substance, which allowed tracking his movements.
It was reported that Hassan Nasrallah shook hands with an Israeli agent, who was purportedly an Iranian visiting Beirut.
At that moment, he handed him an unknown substance, which a sensor or drone camera could identify. The portal emphasizes that Israeli "micro-drones" are so small that they are invisible to the naked eye during a flight over buildings.
Another option was that Nasrallah or one of his close associates could have been sprayed with an invisible chemical marking agent. As mentioned, the KGB used marking agents, including "spy dust," during the Cold War.
If both of these options are excluded, one of the sources likely provided the information about his location.
