STORYLINE:
Protesters clashed with Pakistan’s security forces in Karachi on Sunday after they were prevented from marching to the U.S. consulate in the city.
The demonstrators took to the streets to protest against the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Israeli strikes in Beirut on Friday.
Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli strike in a southern suburb of Beirut.
The killing of the 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, in southern Beirut.
