Israel has recently killed several commanders of the Lebanese militia, including its longtime leader, Hassan Nasrallah.

Protesters gathered on Saturday not only in Lebanon, but also in Iran, in the West Bank and elsewhere to mourn his assassination.

The bombings late Saturday were the latest in a week of stepped up attacks. A bombing on Friday assassinated Hassan Nasrallah, a stunning escalation in Israel’s campaign against the Iranian-backed group.

Hassan Nasrallah’s killing raises questions about whether the group can strike back at Israel. But U.S. officials say it’s too soon to count the group out.

Amid widespread condemnation of Israel’s massive strikes, Syrian communities persecuted by Hezbollah forces voiced cautious, and sometimes exuberant, celebration.

He was credited for the high-growth economy during the early years of Brazil’s long military dictatorship. But critics said his policies brought only short-lived gains.

In 32 years in charge of Hezbollah, Mr. Nasrallah built the Iranian-backed militia into an influential regional force and a potent adversary of Israel.

Most of the victims were women killed in one homestead, according to the police, who have started a manhunt for the gunmen.
