Russia has expressed strong condemnation following the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in an Israeli airstrike. The targeted attack took place in a residential area of Beirut, Lebanon’s capital. According to media reports, Israeli forces dropped at least 85 tons of bombs on Hezbollah’s headquarters in the Dahiya district of Beirut.
