Israel has stepped up to break the back of Hezbollah, the pro-Shiite political party and armed organization of Lebanon supported by Iran. The Jewish state has also achieved great success in that. The head of this pro-Shiite armed organization, Hassan Nasrullah, was killed by Benjamin Netanyahu's forces.

Israeli military spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari made the announcement in a post on the X handle (formerly Twitter) on Saturday (September 28). There he wrote, "Hasan Nasrullah was killed".

The 64-year-old Hezbollah chief had been missing since Friday (September 27), French news agency AFP reported. The Israel Defense Forces, or IDF, made a separate post on social media to spread the news of his death.

On the X handle, the IDF wrote, Hassan Nasrullah will never again be able to terrorize the world. He died in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon.

For the past few days, the Jewish Air Force has been carrying out severe bombing raids on the eastern and southern edges of the neighboring country. The southern part of the capital Beirut was not left out. These areas are known as Hezbollah strongholds.

Nasrullah's influence on Lebanese politics was unquestionable. He was extremely popular among a section of the population of this West Asian country. Some international relations experts claim that Nasrallah had both powers, whether to go to war or mediate during conflicts.

The international media also claimed that Nasrullah's daughter Zainab died in the terrible bombardment of the Israeli Air Force in South Beirut. However, there was no response from Lebanon or Hezbollah.

This is not the first news of the death of this pro-Shia militant leader at the hands of the Israeli army. His death was also reported during the 2006 Israel-Lebanon war. But when the conflict stopped, Nasrullah came out of the hiding place. That the Jews could not cut the scratch on him was immediately apparent.

For almost three decades (about 32 years), Hassan Nasrullah was the head of the Iran-backed armed organization Hezbollah. He held the post of secretary general of the organization.

Hasan Nasrullah was born in 1960 in a poor family. He studied theology as a child. Before joining Hezbollah, he got involved in the Shia movement.

Nasrullah joined a paramilitary organization during the Shia movement. After that, he began to rise at lightning speed. When Nasrullah was officially created in 1985, he moved to the top of the armed organization.

America declared Nasrullah as a terrorist group in 1997. Nasrullah was the head of this organization then. At that time he completed five years as Secretary General.

Nasrullah's father, the Iranian army, sent the group's fighters to Lebanon in 1982. In that year, this West Asian country was involved in a war with Israel. Iran planned to strike back at the Jewish army with Hezbollah.

In 2000, Israel withdrew its forces from the occupied southern Lebanon after almost 18 years. International relations experts believe that Nasrullah played a major role in persuading the Jews to do so.

After six years of this, in 2006, Hezbollah again engaged in war with Israel which lasted for 34 days. There was no victory or defeat in that conflict. As a result, this organization considers it a 'divine victory'. Detectives claim that Nasrullah's brain worked behind it.

On October 7 of last year, another armed organization called Hamas, supported by Iran, launched a terrible attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip in Palestine. They attacked Israel. Not only that, several people were kidnapped and taken to Gaza by Hamas members.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared war on Hamas after that incident. As soon as the conflict started in Gaza, Hezbollah started attacking their military bases from the Lebanese side to make the Jews uncomfortable.

On August 1 of this year, Hasan Nasrullah, the head of the Shia militant organization, said, "We now have to stand by the Palestinian people." We have to pay the price to protect the people there.

During the Israel-Hamas war, Nasrallah also claimed that Hezbollah would not retreat under any circumstances unless the Jews stopped the war. Instead, the attack on Israel will continue.

On September 21, two Hezbollah commanders were killed in a missile attack by the Jewish Air Force in Beirut. It is said that another commander named Ali Karake has died along with Nasrullah. This fighter was preparing to strike against Israel on the southern front.

Defense experts claim that by killing one leader and commander after another, Israel has destroyed Hezbollah. The Israeli army has clarified that the IDF is preparing for ground operations in Lebanon.

Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli airstrike in the Lebanese capital, Beirut. Iran's First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref has warned that such an event will bring about the "destruction" of Israel.

On Saturday (September 28), the Iranian news agency IRNA reported the information to AFP.

Aref was quoted in the report as saying, "We are warning the leaders of the occupying regime that the unjust bloodshed... especially the 'assassination' of Hezbollah Secretary General Shaheed Sayyid Hassan Nasrullah will bring their destruction." Iran will stand by the Islamic resistance.

In this incident, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian expressed his grief over Nasrallah's death and accused the United States of being "involved" in the killing.

State TV footage showed many people grieving over Nasrallah's death gathering, waving yellow Hezbollah flags and chanting "Down with Israel".

Earlier yesterday, the group confirmed the death of the head of Hezbollah.

After Hassan Nasrullah was killed in an Israeli airstrike, discussions are going on about who will take over Hezbollah. On Saturday (September 28), the news agency Reuters reported that Hashim Safiuddin may take the responsibility of the next head of the armed group. He is the head of Hezbollah's executive council.

Earlier, 64-year-old Hasan Nasrullah led the group for 32 consecutive years. Last Friday, Nasrullah was killed in an airstrike in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon.

A Hezbullah source said Hasim Safiuddin could be seen as the new Secretary General. He oversees the group's political affairs. He is also a member of the Jihad Council, which oversees the group's military operations.

Another identity of Hasim Safiuddin is that he is the distant brother of Nasrullah. He is also a religious figure. Besides, he also claims himself as a very close descendant of the last Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

In 2017, he was designated as a terrorist by the US State Department. After the killing of a Hezbollah commander last June, he threatened to take major revenge against Israel. Safiuddin then said, 'Tell the enemy to prepare for weeping and wailing.'

Hashim Safiuddin often made statements to the people of the country. In his speech, the issues of Hezbollah's military position and support for the Palestinians were raised.

“Our history, our guns and our rockets are all with you," he told Palestinians at a recent event at Hezbollah's stronghold in Beirut's southern suburb of Dahiyeh.

Analysts believe that Hashim Safiuddin's family relationship and physical resemblance to Nasrullah and the fact that he is also a descendant of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) may make it easier for him to take control of Hezbollah. Hezbollah was born in Lebanon 42 years ago with the help of Iran. The former head of the group was killed by Israel in a helicopter attack in 1992. After that Hassan Nasrullah took charge of Hezbollah.

The journey of Shelly Lotan's food startup company in northern Israel has only just begun. Just over a year ago last October, Hezbollah began firing missiles across the border and the government advised everyone in the region to evacuate.

Two of his store's five employees were drafted, the Washington Post reported. Employees who weren't invited moved the startup's office to the basement of another employee's parents' house. This has slowed down investment in his business.

It's also been almost a year since the Hamas-led attack on Israel. There are no signs of a Gaza-Israel ceasefire and a potential invasion of Lebanon is looming. Because of the war, Lotan's business is almost at a standstill. Meanwhile, the country has a growing downstream effect on the economy due to the war between the two countries.

The current war started when the Palestinian armed group Hamas attacked Israel on October 7 last year. Many were killed, injured and many were kidnapped that day. A year of unrest and tragedy has threatened to collapse the country's economy.

The war caused Israel's credit rating to decline and the gross domestic product (GDP) to shrink rapidly. Thousands of businesses have been closed. A growing number of jobs have been lost. Companies are outsourcing work from remote locations.

Israel's military personnel are struggling to balance their core careers with military life, reports said. After October 7, 2023, 287,000 citizens joined the war as reserve troops. Israel's population is less than one crore. That is, more than one-fourth of the country's people are in the war zone. The big question is how the economy is doing in this situation.

Though Israel has a large high-tech industry. However, the country's construction and agricultural sectors have been severely affected by the cancellation of Palestinian work permits since October 7 last year.

Defense spending naturally increases during wars. Israel's defense spending has at least doubled in the past year. Israel's war losses could raise to 67 billion or 67 billion dollars by 2025, warns the country's central bank. The Central Bank of Israel made this prediction before Israel's ongoing attack on Lebanon. As a result, the actual loss will be much higher than this. Old Jerusalem's economy, heavily dependent on tourism, has collapsed. Many Palestinian businesses there have closed. It is unlikely that they will resume business in the near future.

Dan Ben David, head of Israel's Shoresh Institution for Socioeconomic Research told the Washington Post, Israel's economy is in great danger; the government has to come out of this situation. Now all the attention of the government is on the war. It shows no signs of ending.

Israel's economy is already strong enough. Basically, as a major center of technology and research sector, there are a large number of startup companies operating in that country. Israel is a big name in the world of research and development.

The tourists are gone:

As a result of the war, the country's tourism sector business has decreased by more than 75 percent. Jerusalem's Old City is already buzzing with tourists, but many of the area's shops are closed.

Business at Ayman Shawar's family bakery in Jerusalem's Old City has dropped significantly since October 7. Ice cream seller Abdul Quader Alami's business has also come down to zero.

He said he spends his days chatting with fellow Palestinian business owners. Many of whom have closed their businesses altogether. They cannot even think about future business. After working for several decades in waste and water drainage systems in the United States, he came to his country and started this business. If the business closes, I will starve.

He said, the economy was dependent on tourists, the tourists have left. There is no economy.
