Report: Nasrallah suffers heart attack
2019-01-13
[IsraelNationalNews] Hezbollah leader reportedly fighting cancer and heart problems. The Lebanese media reported on Saturday that Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was hospitalized after apparently suffering a heart attack.
Who knew he had a heart?
Additional reports said that Nasrallah is also fighting cancer.

Israel Hayom quoted Lebanese journalist Jerry Mahar as saying that "an intelligence source confirmed that a senior figure in the Hezbollah organization was hospitalized today in a hospital in the capital Beirut, and other sources confirmed that it was Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, who has been fighting cancer for years."

The reports were not confirmed by any official source in the country and Hezbollah did not respond to the report.

Nasrallah has not been seen in the media since reports of the exposure of Hezbollah tunnels in Operation Defensive Shield.

In his last public appearance in November, Nasrallah blasted reports of a cease-fire between Hamas and Israel and warned the Jewish State not to attack Lebanon.

"We condemn any form of normalization with the Zionist entity," Nasrallah said. "I say to the Palestinian people, do not lose hope over the Arab states' normalization with Israel; what before went on behind the scenes now is taking place publicly. The current normalization has put an end to Arab hypocrisy, and removed the mask from the swindlers and hypocrites."

#4  Hey Nassan, you know all those ACE inhibitors, ARNIs and Beta blockers you'll be taking are produced by joos using pork fat buffers. And the supposedly Turkish stuff is re-branded Israeli anyway.
Have a nice life.

#2  From the Times of Israel today:

Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani has denied reports that Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah is currently receiving treatment for cancer.

"The recent claims by the Zionists that Nasrallah is sick are the biggest lie of the year," he states.


This doesn’t addess the question of the heart attack, oddly enough.

#1  He is 58 years old.

About a decade ago he designated one of his cousins as a successor. About 6 years ago he made to decision (or Iran made the decision) that Hezbollah would throw their full weight behind Assad. This decision has resulted in several thousand dead Hezbollah fighters and many more wounded.

If he died there would likely be some sort of succession conflict.
