Hasan Nasrallah’s Daughter reportedly killed in Israeli strike in Lebanon
Zainab Nasrallah, the daughter of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, was reportedly killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting Hezbollah strongholds in Beirut’s southern suburbs on Friday.
Israeli media reported her death, though there has been no official confirmation from Hezbollah or Lebanese authorities.
Zainab, known for her outspoken loyalty to Hezbollah and her family’s sacrifices, had previously spoken publicly about the death of her brother, Hadi, who was killed by Israeli forces in 1997.
In a 2022 interview on Al-Manar TV, she described her family’s reaction: “When my brother Hadi was ‘martyred,’ my parents did not shed a single tear,” reflecting the family’s pride in their path.
She noted that her mother viewed Hadi’s death as a “shortcut” to the afterlife, and the family chose to honor his sacrifice rather than mourn traditionally.
If confirmed, Zainab’s death could have significant symbolic implications for Hezbollah, potentially influencing the group’s response to the escalating conflict with Israel.
The situation remains fluid, with more details expected as the investigation continues.
