Nasrallah suffocated to death from toxic fumes inside secret bunker: Report Nasrallah suffocated to death : Reports have stated that Hassan Nasrallah, the head of Hezbollah, died from inhaling poisonous fumes in his undisclosed underground shelter. This happened following a large-scale Israeli air attack on September 27, 2024, aiming at the militant organisation’s base in Beirut. The bunker collapsed due to the airstrike, filling it with poisonous gases and dense smoke, preventing Nasrallah from breathing.

This event has worsened the situation between Israel and Hezbollah even more.

Who might succeed Nasrallah as leader of Hezbollah?
