Death of Hezbollah Chief Nasrallah in Israeli Airstrike Evokes Sharp Reactions from Countries

Israel’s airstrike that killed Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has evoked sharp reactions from various corners and countries. While Iran’s supreme leader Khamenei called on Muslims to confront Israel after Nasrallah's death; Iran’s foreign ministry has said Nasrallah's "path will continue and his goal will be realized in Jerusalem's liberation", according to news reports. France has asked U.S. to restrain Israel and ask it to go for ceasefire.

While Hezbollah has said that it will continue its battle against Israel in support of Gaza and Palestine, and in the defence of Lebanon and its people, Hamas mourned the death of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and said his death would only fuel more determination to fight Israel.

Turkey's President Tayyip Erdogan condemned Israel's recent attacks in Lebanon, saying that the attacks are part of Israeli policy of "genocide, occupation, and invasion". In a post on X, Erdogan said Turkey stood with the people of Lebanon.
