He led Hezbollah for thirty-two years, turning a militia born from Israel's 1982 invasion of Lebanon into a force that shaped wars, borders, and the power structure of the Middle East. His death in an Israeli airstrike in September 2024 closed the longest tenure of any Hezbollah secretary-general.

About this person

Born in Beirut's Shia suburbs in 1960, Nasrallah studied at seminaries in Tyre and Baalbek, briefly joined the Amal Movement, then helped found Hezbollah in 1982 as resistance to Israeli occupation. After religious studies in Iran, he returned to Lebanon and became secretary-general in 1992 when his predecessor was killed by Israeli strike. Under his command, Hezbollah acquired longer-range rockets and waged an 18-year campaign that ended with Israel's 2000 withdrawal from southern Lebanon - a date now a Lebanese public holiday. The 2006 war, triggered by a Hezbollah border ambush, drew criticism, though Nasrallah framed its end as victory. He later committed fighters to Syria's civil war on the side of Assad's government, a deployment that drew accusations of massacres against Sunni Muslims, and promoted the "Axis of Resistance" linking Iran-backed groups against Israel and the United States. After Hamas's October 7 attacks, Hezbollah opened a second front along the Israeli-Lebanese border in what Nasrallah called solidarity with Palestinians. On 27 September 2024, an Israeli airstrike on Hezbollah's headquarters killed him.
