Hassan Nasrallah (Arabic: 丨爻賳賳氐乇丕賱賱賴鈥? (b. August 30, 1960, Burj Hammud, Beirut, Lebanon) is the current Secretary General of the Lebanese Islamist party Hezbollah. He is also a Shi'a cleric who is a protege of Ali Khamenei.

Nasrallah became the leader of Hezbollah after Israel assassinated the movement鈥檚 leader Abbas al-Musawi in 1992. Under Nasrallah's leadership, Hezbollah became a serious opponent of the Israel Defense Forces in Southern Lebanon, managing to improve the organization's military capabilities and increasing the killing rate to approximately two dozen Israeli soldiers per year. Hezbollah's military campaigns of the late 1990s were believed to be one of the main factors that led to the Israeli decision to withdraw from Southern Lebanon in 2000, thus ending 18 years of occupation.

Consequently, Nasrallah is widely credited in Lebanon and the Arab world for ending the Israeli occupation in Southern Lebanon, something which has greatly bolstered the party's political standing within Lebanon.

Nasrallah also played a major role in a complex prisoner exchange deal between Israel and Hezbollah in 2004, resulting in hundreds of Palestinian and Lebanese prisoners being freed and the dead body of his son with many more returning to Lebanon. The agreement was described across the Arab world as a great victory for Hezbollah with Nasrallah being personally praised for achieving these gains.
