The Lebanese terrorist leader’s health situation is “hinder[ing] him from speaking in a normal way as usual, and he is receiving the appropriate treatment,” according to Al Manar TV.

A speech by Hezbollah leader Hasan Nasrallah scheduled for Friday was postponed due to illness, according to a statement from the Iranian-backed terrorist group.

Nasrallah had contracted the flu, according to Hezbollah’s media office.

His health situation was “hinder[ing] him from speaking in a normal way as usual, and he is receiving the appropriate treatment,” according to Hezbollah’s Al Manar TV.

The speech would instead be delivered on Tuesday, the third anniversary of the targeted killing of Iranians Quds Force chief Qassem Soleimani in a U.S. drone strike in Baghdad, Iraq.

Nasrallah, 62, took over the terrorist organization in 1992 after his predecessor was assassinated in an Israeli airstrike. Ever since the Second Lebanon War in 2006, his location and physical condition have been a well-guarded secret.

“She’ll be ready to deliver on day one,” Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said of Haley Stevens, who has AIPAC’s support.
Emily Hilliard of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services told JNS that the agency “will take appropriate action whenever there is evidence of fraud, abuse or other violations of federal requirements.”
Describing the move as “unprecedented and highly controversial,” Israel’s Foreign Ministry said it ties “the hands of his successor” and degrades the U.N.’s “rules-based order.”
Foreign Minister Sa’ar hosted his Congolese counterpart in Jerusalem to sign two Memoranda of Understanding.
“All of the terrorists were transferred to the security forces for further investigation,” authorities added.
The incident joins a series of similar ones in recent months, posing a danger to the safety of IDF troops, according to the military.
