Gunfire broke out in Beirut following the announcement of the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, a significant event marked by the group as martyrdom, a revered honor in Islam.
Initially, many Hezbollah supporters were doubtful when Israel first reported Nasrallah's death. Moments before the official announcement, some individuals expressed hope for a surprise appearance by Nasrallah, only to be shocked by the confirmation of his passing.
One elderly Shia woman, clad in a black chador, confidently stated her belief that Nasrallah was not in Lebanon, moments before the news was confirmed. Overwhelmed by the announcement, she repeated, 'He was martyred,' while struggling to maintain her composure.
Witnesses described the atmosphere as a moment of crisis, with one individual emphasizing that martyrdom was Nasrallah's ultimate desire and destiny.
In the Dahiyeh neighborhood of southern Beirut, where Nasrallah was reportedly killed by Israel, emotional chants of loyalty and defiance were heard, underscoring the deep impact of his death on his followers.
