Timeline of evil: Nasrallah's death ends three-decade global trail of bloodshed [View all]

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, killed in his underground headquarters during a massive Israeli airstrike in southern Beirut on Friday, is primarily remembered in Israel for his role in the 2006 Second Lebanon War and, most recently and notoriously, for initiating hostilities against the Jewish state on October 8 in support of Hamas.

However, Nasrallah’s terror activities extended far beyond Israeli borders. Over the three decades of his leadership of the terror organization, he orchestrated a wide range of deadly attacks, targeting not only Israelis and Jews but also dozens of US troops, and participating in the massacres of tens of thousands of Syrian civilians.

The Shiite terror organization, founded in 1982 after Israel’s invasion of Lebanon, had already risen to international notoriety before Nasrallah took its helm.

In 1983, it masterminded two devastating suicide truck bombings in Beirut against the US embassy and the barracks of French and American peacekeeping forces, killing over 300 people.
