Residents across Syria, particularly in Idlib, Azaz, and Aleppo province, are celebrating the reported death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. Despite the lack of official confirmation, the news has sparked widespread jubilation, with people handing out sweets and celebrating in the streets. In north Syria, mosques announced the presumed death of Nasrallah from their minarets. Nasrallah, who has been a key figure in supporting the Assad regime, is widely despised for his role in the Syrian conflict. The celebrations reflect the deep-seated animosity towards Hezbollah, which has been accused of committing atrocities against the Syrian people. The news of Nasrallah's possible death has also been met with celebrations in Israel, Lebanon, and Iran. Syrians have been waving the Free Syrian flag as part of the celebrations.
