Hassan Nasrallah

Hassan Nasrallah is the former leader of the Lebanese Shi'ite terrorist organization Hezbollah. Since he assumed leadership in 1992, Hezbollah has grown to be one of the most dangerous and well-equipped terrorist groups in the world, and has often been cited as the world's most powerful non-state actor with a military might comparable to standing armies. He also was responsible for numerous terrorist attacks against Israel.

He was assassinated by Israel on September 27, 2024.
