STORYLINE:
Dozens protested in the West Bank on Saturday night, carrying pictures and flags of Hezbollah in response to the death of the group’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed in Israeli strikes in Beirut on Friday.
"We are very shocked, we are very sad today. Hassan Nasrallah was a very great leader," said Mariam Nam, a protestor who took part in the demonstration. "What happened was a very big crime," she added
Lebanon’s Hezbollah group confirmed on Saturday that its leader and one of its founding members, Nasrallah, was killed in an Israeli airstrike in a southern suburb of Beirut.
The killing of the powerful militant group’s longtime leader sent shockwaves throughout Lebanon and the Middle East, where he has been a dominant political and military figure for more than three decades.
Nasrallah, linked by Israel to numerous deadly attacks on Israeli and Jewish targets, had been on Israel’s kill list for decades.
His assassination is by far the biggest and most consequential of Israel’s targeted killings in years, and significantly escalates the war in the Middle East.
Hezbollah is backed by Iran, Israel’s chief regional rival.
The Israeli military said it carried out a precise airstrike on Friday while Hezbollah leaders were meeting at their headquarters in Dahiyeh, south of Beirut.
Israeli strikes have killed more than 700 people in Lebanon since last week.
