Lebanese grieve Hezbollah chief Nasrallah killed in Israeli strike | AFP

In Lebanon's Beirut, citizens grieve the death of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed in an air strike on the capital's southern suburbs. Nasrallah was the militant group's leader for 32 years. His death deals a seismic blow to Hezbollah, engaged in a year of escalating cross-border hostilities with Israel since Hamas's October 7 attack on the country.

I will never understand these people. Their love for death and the merchants of death is really disturbing.

[multidimensional_holographer]

go back to school, go back to work, rebuild your economy, this medieval warfare fantasy is pointless and wasteful

[gail]

Stop supporting terrorist leaders and agree to live in peace.

[brentmarr]

why would they cry for a evil man who starts wars

[Kasha]

So horrified that civilians can think a mass murderer is someone to cry for...

[WickJ]

WHAT? grieve for Terrorist???? grieve for a person who started chaos.... instead of being happy that now that you have peace abd free from what kind of mentality do they have!!! this is MADNESS...

[ChrisKhaled]

This is horrifying. To see my own kind cry over such an evil bad man

[harveyneedleman]

I saw partying all over the middle east.

[ConnMtenor]

Not what I heard. Social media is packed with Lebanese celebrating.

[JelMain]

Some Lebanese. Others feel differently.

[David-fjlz]

They are all cheering now in the streets

[patchan]

How ridiculous that they should be grieving. They should be GRATEFUL to be liberated from evil.

[saraphilip]

How blind these people are. They don't know about terrorism.

[Microobserver]

Did these people shed even a drop of tear when Hamas killed thousands of innocent people in Israel on October 7, 2023? No, not at all. Instead they were celebrating. What does it mean? Are we fools?

[TheVeganBelly]

They're mourning over the death of a terrorist leader who has brought more deaths and misery to their nation than the fact that their homes have been bombed and had to sleep on the streets. These people are more delusional than I thought.

This must be a coverage of the Lebanese Shaya community - the Hezbollah support base. Their allegiance is to Iran and not Lebanon. The Christian and the Sunny Muslims of Lebanon are relieved at the big cancellation.

[pfqesmg]

Other Muslim in Syria in Iraq in Iran are happy but this woman's are crying perhaps this are wives of hezbollah leader

[dazza]

Funny, most of the videos i saw were people celebrating. Maybe we should look into the medias finances to see why they push this propaganda.

[rogerclark]

It's very shocking sad disturbing scary and emotional. But the citizens in Lebanon are partying in the streets right now... They will now be free...

Interesting how on independent media accounts they show crowds of Lebanese celebrating his passing, but here a very different almost scripted version of events
