Iran calls for Security Council meeting over Hezbollah chief’s death, vows revenge

Amid escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, especially after the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, Iran has called an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council as it seeks to take revenge on the Jewish nation.
A projectile was fired by Lebanon following Nasrallah’s killing, which crashed into the Israel-occupied West Bank area on Saturday, causing a fire. However, no injuries were reported in the incident.
Air raid sirens were also sounded on the outskirts of Jerusalem and the West Bank, according to Israeli alert apps, which the Israeli military said were triggered by “a launch from Lebanon toward Israeli territory”.
In his first public statement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netenyahu described the killing of Hassan Nasrallah as “a historic turning point”.
Israeli strikes in Lebanon killed 33 people and wounded 195 others on Saturday, the Lebanese health ministry said. More than 1,000 people have been killed and more than 6,000 wounded as a result of Israeli attacks in the past two weeks, and about one million Lebanese have been displaced by the strikes.
