Residents in northern Syria, particularly in Idlib, Azaz, and Aleppo, are celebrating the reported death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. Despite no official confirmation, the news has led to widespread jubilation, with people handing out sweets and mosques announcing his presumed death. Nasrallah, who has been a key figure in supporting the Assad regime during the Syrian civil war, is widely blamed for the deaths and displacement of thousands of Syrians. The celebrations follow an Israeli airstrike that reportedly targeted Nasrallah and other senior Hezbollah officials. Lebanese Christians and Iranians are also reportedly celebrating.
