Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah killed in Israeli airstrike
Tensions rise in the Middle East following Friday's Israeli strike in Beirut.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the assassination of Hassan Nasrallah an "historic turning point," stating that Israel has "settled the score." Nasrallah had previously been in hiding due to threats from Israel. Iran's Supreme Leader warns that his death "will not go unavenged."
