A pro-Hezbollah journalist was caught on camera breaking down into sobbing tears after she heard the leader of the terror group had been killed in an Israeli airstrike.
Hassan Nasrallah died after an IDF attack obliterated a compound in Beirut on Friday leaving the Iran-backed militant organisation leaderless as tensions ratchet up in the region.
Reporter Marwa Osman was being interviewed via video link on Russia Today’s India channel when the presenter informed it was confirmed Nasrallah was dead.
As the camera cut from the studio to Ms Osman’s camera it was clear the journalist was shocked by the announcement as she began to recoil from the screen and burst into tears.
Waving her hands in despair she then reaches out and turns off her screen, to which the presenter in the studio responds by saying “so sorry, let’s end the interview there”.
The clip of Ms Osman beside herself on hearing the news of the death of the terror leader has been shared widely on social media with many Israel supporters mocking her reaction.
Ms Osman, who works for Iranian news television, hit back at her critics with antisemitic posts claiming the October 7 terrorist massacre in Israel was a “glorious day”.
Israel’s assassination of Hezbollah leader Nasrallah is thought to have struck a major blow against Hezbollah, which he was at the helm of for 32 years.
Hezbollah’s announcement of his death triggered tears and celebrations across the Arab world, pointing to the widespread reach and influence of a divisive man who has been at the forefront of Middle Eastern politics for decades.
The 64-year-old Nasrallah headed arguably the most powerful paramilitary force in the world, also a designated terror organisation, that is now left without a clear successor at a critical juncture.
It remains to be seen whether his death will be a trigger for an all-out war between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, which potentially could drag in Iran and the United States and Britain.
