President Joe Biden called the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah “a measure of justice” for the thousands of civilians that he and the terrorist organization killed over the last three decades.
“Hassan Nasrallah and the terrorist group he led, Hezbollah, were responsible for killing hundreds of Americans over a four-decade reign of terror,” Biden said in a statement.
“His death from an Israeli airstrike is a measure of justice for his many victims, including thousands of Americans, Israelis, and Lebanese civilians.”
The president’s statement arrives after Lebanon’s Hezbollah group confirmed that Nasrallah, 64, was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut on Friday.
Nasrallah took leadership in Hezbollah in 1992, helping create and maintain a Shia political and military army that launched bombings and attacks around the world, killing thousands of civilians in their path in the name of destroying Israel.
For decades, Hezbollah, under Nasarallah’s leadership, fought wars against Israel and participated in conflicts in neighboring countries like Syria.
In the last year, the organization condemned Israel for its war in Gaza and began physical attacks. Recently, Israel launched attacks in Lebanon to push Hezbollah back from the northern border and destroy Hezbollah’s infrastructure.
Those deadly attacks, which have killed at least 1,000 people, are ultimately what killed Nasrallah.
