Israel's military says it killed eight of Hezbollah's nine most senior military commanders, includingNasrallah, this year, mostly in the past week. These commanders led units ranging from the rocket division to the elite Radwan force.
Hezbollah, the Iran-aligned Lebanese militant group, was initially tight-lipped on reports of Nasrallah being killed but later confirmed that its leader died.
Nasrallah's killing came barely a week after Israel's deadly detonation of hundreds of booby-trapped pagers and radios in Lebanon.
His deathis a major blow to both Hezbollah and Iran, removing an influential ally who helped build Hezbollah into the linchpin of Tehran's network of allied groups in the Arab world.
Iran calls for UNSC meeting
Following Nasrallah's killing, Iran called for a meeting of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to discussIsrael's actions in Lebanon and across the region (of West Asia), the news agency Reuters reported.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran strongly warns against any attack on its diplomatic premises and representatives in violation of the foundational principle of the inviolability of diplomatic and consular premises and reiterates that it will not tolerate any repeat of such aggression," Iran's UN ambassadorAmir Saeid Iravani wrote in a letter to the 15-member body.
"Iran will not hesitate to exercise its inherent rights under international law to take every measure in defence of its vital national and security interests," Iravani added.
