Al-Sayyid Ḥasan Naṣrallāh, (b. August 31, 1960, d. September 27, 2024) was a Lebanese Shia cleric and the Secretary General of Hezbollah, a Shia Islamic political and military organization based in Lebanon. He pursued religious studies in Najaf, where he developed close ties with prominent scholars such as Sayyid Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr and Sayyid Abbas al-Musawi, relationships that later contributed to his involvement in resistance efforts against Zionist forces.
Nasrallah initially oversaw Hezbollah's administrative apparatus before assuming leadership following the assassination of Sayyid Abbas al-Musawi. He was elected Secretary General of Hezbollah in 1992 at the age of 32, after al-Musawi was assassinated in an Israeli helicopter gunship attack. Nasrallah went on to lead the organization for more than three decades.
Under Nasrallah's leadership, Hezbollah emerged as a significant political and military force in the region. In 2000, the group succeeded in compelling the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanon and secured the release of several prisoners. Due to ongoing threats of assassination, Nasrallah made infrequent public appearances. His son, Sayyid Hadi Nasrallah, was martyred in 1997 during a confrontation with the Israeli army. Nasrallah also served as a member of the Supreme Council of the Ahl al-Bayt (a) World Assembly.
On September 27, 2024, an Israeli airstrike targeted Hezbollah's headquarters in southern Beirut. The following day, Hezbollah confirmed the martyrdom of its Secretary General, Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah, as a result of the attack. On October 29, 2024, approximately one month after Nasrallah's death, Sheikh Naim Qassem was appointed as the fourth Secretary General of Hezbollah.
On the eve of February 23, a historic funeral procession was held for Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah, lasting approximately six hours through the streets of Beirut. The procession drew hundreds of thousands of Lebanese mourners, as well as dignitaries and international guests. Nasrallah was laid to rest in the southern suburbs of Beirut, near the city's airport.....
