File under: Hezbollah

#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.

#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.

#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.

#5 "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."

"Good afternoon, State Department Divisive Policies and Middle East Plots Office..."
