    On September 28, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced the killing of Hezbollah Chief Hassan Nasrallah in airstrikes targeting the group's central headquarters in Beirut, Lebanon.

In response to Nasrallah's reported death, protests erupted in India, particularly in Budgam, Jammu and Kashmir, where many rallied in support of Hezbollah and Palestine.
