Hezbollah Leader Nasrallah 'Suffocated' from Toxic Fumes in Bunker: Report
Newsweek ^ | Sept. 30, 2024 | Chloe Mayer

Posted on 09/30/2024 7:35:50 AM PDT by canuck_conservative

The 64-year-old's body is believed to have been intact when it was pulled from the rubble, suggesting he had not sustained physical wounds as the building around him exploded.

Instead, he had suffocated as toxic fumes leeched into the underground shelter where he was hiding, Israel's Channel 12 reported on Sunday evening.

The report suggested he was likely to have died in "agony" as the fumes and smoke from the explosions gradually filled the buried room, and made breathing impossible....

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who had been close friends with Nasrallah, has called for vengeance and urged Muslims to support Lebanon and Hezbollah against Israel.

However, Iran's leadership are said to be divided about how to respond, with some calling for restraint in order to avoid war, according to The New York Times, which said it had interviewed some senior Iranian figures. The newspaper noted that the Supreme Leader's statement referenced supporting Hezbollah against Israel, rather than vowing to take direct action himself.

Nasrallah's body was recovered on Sunday, and sources claimed the body had no direct wounds; leading to an initial theory that the cause of death was blunt trauma from the force of the blast, Reuters reported.

However, a new theory has now emerged that Nasrallah's bunker had not been adequately ventilated and the bombings resulted in gases entering the room causing him to "suffocate," Israel's Channel 12 reported on Sunday...

Not going to rejoice over the death of an evil person but will rejoice that his reign of terror is done.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hassan_Nasrallah

Under his tenure, Hezbollah has been designated a terrorist organization, either wholly or in part, by the United States and other nations, as well as by the European Union. The Arab League designated Hezbollah a terrorist organization in 2016, but as of 2024 no longer views it as one.[24] As of 2015, Russia was rejecting the claims that Hezbollah is a terrorist organization, and considered Hezbollah a legitimate sociopolitical organization.[25] As of 2012, China remains neutral, and maintains contacts with Hezbollah.[26][27]

.....
What is known as the “Green Flood” (Al-sayl al-akhdhar) came after the war, according to Iranian-born journalist Amir Taheri. “This refers to the massive amounts of U.S. dollar notes that Hezbollah is distributing among all the citizens that were effected from the war in Beirut and the south. The dollars from Iran are ferried to Beirut via Syria and distributed through networks of militants. Anyone who can prove that his home was damaged in the war receives $12,000, a tidy sum in wartorn Lebanon”.[33]

......
On 27 September 2024, the Israeli Air Force launched an airstrike on Hezbollah’s headquarters in Beirut, reportedly targeting Nasrallah.[79] At least six people were killed and over 90 injured following the strike, with several missing.[80][81][82] The following day, the IDF stated that Nasrallah had died in the strike; Hezbollah and Lebanese authorities later confirmed his death.[82]

The Economist wrote that his death would “reshape” Lebanon and the Middle East in ways which “would have been unthinkable a year ago” and that the next leader of Hezbollah would face the “most precarious moment” in the organization’s history owing to Israel’s destruction of almost their entire leadership. The Economist felt the Lebanese public perceived the group as “humiliated” and had come to resent their domination of Lebanese politics.[83]

He probably passed out first and died later, which unfortunately means the end may not have been as painful as we think it was.

“Not going to rejoice over the death of an evil person but will rejoice that his reign of terror is done.”

Limp-wristed virtue-signaling like that is why we are in this mess in the first place. Ten-to-one your opinions on fag marriage is “homosexuals just want to live their lives like everyone else.”

Then he had time to repent. No use wondering whether or not he did.

I'm not seeing the problem with this, Newsweak. Someone help them out.

Gloom, despair, agony on me.
Deep, dark depression, excessive misery.
If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all.
Gloom, despair it's agony on me!

He died of asphyxiation, the same way national Socialists killed so many Jews.

Well, that would have been ironic. But, I prefer a long, lingering, pain-filled death for such a savage.

May he rest in pieces.

With that many 2,000 LB bombs dropping on his head, I would have thought, there wouldn’t be enough left of him, to send home in a cigar box.

I hope he drowned to death very slowly choking in his own body fluids.

so stupid...

He died from blast injuries. I’ve seen it... body looks ok...but lungs,liver, other internal organs are affected by the pressure wave and basically “pop”....

F@#k that guy. They should have dropped delayed munitions and then RFID dust on the bombs to follow everyone that helped to recover the bodies.... if the passive RFIDs are inhaled, then you’re never getting rid of them... you’re just a moving target.
