After The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported that Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah leader, lost his life during several airstrikes they carried out in the suburb of Dahieh, Lebanon.Joe Biden and Kamala Harris described the incident as a “measure of justice” and in the process supported their support for the Jewish nation.
The 64-year-old Lebanese cleric’s contribution allowed the organization of which he was a founding member to become a lethal force in the Middle East.
Following the fact that, on October 7, members of Hezbollah carried out some bombings from the Lebanese border towards Israeli territory as a show of support for the Islamic group Hamas in the face of the Israeli invasion, a hostile environment arose in the region.
In this way, 11 months later, the IDF collected the bill from the Lebanese organization by annihilating its leader.
In this regard, Joe Biden, US president, issued a statement in which he describes the death of Hassan Nasrallah as a “measure of justice.”
“Hassan Nasrallah and the terrorist group he led, Hezbollah, were responsible for killing hundreds of Americans during a four-decade reign of terror.
His death from an Israeli airstrike is a measure of justice for his many victims, including thousands of Americans, Israelis and Lebanese civilians.
The attack that killed Nasrallah took place in the broader context of the conflict that began with the Hamas massacre on October 7, 2023.
“The next day, Nasrallah made the fateful decision to join forces with Hamas and open what he called a ‘northern front’ against Israel,” the president wrote.
Likewise, the 81-year-old Democrat reaffirmed his support for the operations carried out by Israel.
“The United States fully supports Israel’s right to defend itself against Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis and any other terrorist group supported by Iran,” he emphasized.
In the same line of thought, Vice President Kamala Harris defined Hassan Narsalá as “a terrorist with American blood on his hands.”
“Today the victims of Hezbollah had a measure of justice. “I will always support Israel’s right to defend itself,” he wrote.
