US President Joe Biden has called the Israeli strike that killed Hezbollah’s Hassan Nasrallah a “measure of justice” for his four-decade reign of terror.

The comments came after Lebanon’s Hezbollah group confirmed earlier on Saturday that Mr Nasrallah, one of the group’s founders, was killed in an Israeli air strike in Beirut the previous day.
