Hassan Nasrallah, the head of the Lebanese Shia terrorist organization Hezbollah, was killed in an attack on the southern suburbs of Beirut conducted on Friday at 3:00 PM Eastern Time.

"He will no longer terrorize the world" - announced the Israeli army in a statement on social media.

Hezbollah, confirming the death of their leader, stated that Nasrallah "joined the ranks of his martyred companions, whose march he led for nearly 30 years."

On Monday, Hezbollah's deputy leader, Naim Qassem, promised continued resistance against Israel, calling the previous attacks against Israel the "minimum." He stated that if Israel decides to launch a ground offensive, Hezbollah fighters are ready to defend Lebanon.

Media: Nasrallah shook hands with an agent

Meanwhile, the media are writing about the behind-the-scenes preparations for the assassination of the Hezbollah leader. According to the Al Hadath portal, cited by the "Daily Mail," he was murdered after being covered in a chemical substance, which allowed tracking his movements.

It was reported that Hassan Nasrallah shook hands with an Israeli agent, who was supposedly an Iranian visiting Beirut.

At that time, the agent transferred an unknown substance to him, which could be identified by a sensor or a drone camera. As the portal highlights, Israeli "micro-drones" are small enough to be invisible to the naked eye when flying over buildings.

Another option was that Nasrallah or one of his close associates might have been sprayed with an invisible chemical marking agent. As mentioned, the KGB used marking agents, including "spy dust," among others, during the Cold War.

If both options are excluded, one of the sources likely provided information about his location.
