Israel's military said Saturday that it had killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, and a cousin of his is already emerging as his replacement who could rule the terrorist organization in a similar fashion, Imtiaz Tyab reports from Tel Aviv.

As word spread on Saturday that Hezbollah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah had been killed in his underground Beirut bunker by an Israeli airstrike, people began quietly reckoning with the possibility that Lebanon’s political architecture might be about to shift for the first time in more than three decades. And that, in turn, raised the prospect that locked doors might soon open across the Middle East.Those who have fought against Hezbollah—not just Israelis but also Lebanese from across the nation’s confessional divides, as well as Syrians and Yemenis—could see the tantalizing possibility that the Shiite movement’s dominance might be at an end. Many others worried that a sudden power vacuum might lead Lebanon back to the kind of civil war that tortured its people for 15 years before Hezbollah emerged in the early 1980s.Nasrallah was more than a political leader. After 32 years in power, he had become synonymous with Hezbollah, the most well-armed non-state actor in the world and the linchpin of Iran’s tentacular “axis of resistance” to Israel and the United States.You could feel the moment’s gravity almost as soon as the bombs struck on Friday evening—the biggest bombardment Israel has unleashed on Beirut since Hezbollah attacked Israel last October 8. I heard and felt the attack miles away from where they struck in the city’s southern suburbs. The deep sound like rippling thunder that shook the ground lasted several seconds. People on the street glanced anxiously skyward and clutched their phones, calling to check on their loved ones. Car alarms went off.The rumors began almost instantly: that Nasrallah was dead, that he was in hiding, that a civil war was brewing. The same TV clips of the bomb site ran throughout the night and the next morning, showing a mound of flaming rubble and twisted steel. If Israel had, as it claimed, scored a direct hit on Hezbollah’s underground command center, believing that anyone inside could have survived seemed impossible.Beirut was a city transformed on Saturday, the main squares full of dazed people who had fled all of the places Israel had bombed overnight, from Beirut to the Bekaa valley to southern Lebanon. Families huddled together, their eyes hollow and fearful. No safe places were left, it seemed. Some of the displaced were Syrians, who had fled the horror of their own country’s civil war a decade ago and were now left homeless again.Nasrallah was such a central figure for so long—the most powerful man in Lebanon and Israel’s greatest foe; loved, hated, and imitated by anti-Western insurgent leaders across the Middle East—that his absence left many Lebanese feeling profoundly rudderless. There were occasional bursts of gunfire throughout the day. Whether it came from mourners or celebrators was impossible to say.Just after Nasrallah’s death was announced by Hezbollah on Saturday afternoon, impromptu rallies broke out, with people chanting in unison Labayka, ya Nasrallah—“We are at your service, Nasrallah.” Ordinarily, any Hezbollah activity is carefully organized by the party itself, a strict and hierarchical organization. But with the group leaderless and in disarray, no one seemed to know where to turn for guidance.Some Hezbollah loyalists directed their anger at Iran, the group’s patron and arms supplier, which has not come to their aid after weeks of punishing airstrikes. “Iran sold us out,” I heard one man say in a Beirut café Saturday afternoon, a phrase that was widely repeated on social media among Hezbollah sympathizers. Other supporters of Hezbollah appeared to be lashing out at Syrian refugees, whom they suspect of providing targeting information to Israel. Videos circulated online, claiming to show Shiite men brutally beating Syrians with truncheons.“It’s an earthquake that has restructured power perceptions,” Paul Salem, the vice president for international engagement at the Middle East Institute, told me. Those who might benefit from Nasrallah’s death include Nabih Berri, the leader of the rival Shiite party known as Amal, and former Christian warlords such as Samir Geagea, Salem said.Outside of Lebanon, some of Hezbollah’s enemies openly celebrated. In Syria’s rebel-held Idlib province, people danced in the streets and handed out sweets on Friday night as rumors of Nasrallah’s death spread. Hezbollah helped prop up Bashar al-Assad’s regime during the Syrian civil war and killed many opposition fighters. Some Iranians who oppose their country’s Islamist government posted derisive comments online, as did members of the Iranian diaspora. Iran has diverted enormous amounts of its own people’s money to support Hezbollah, Hamas, and other groups around the Middle East that oppose Israel.Most of Hezbollah’s domestic enemies maintained a wary silence on Saturday. But in Martyr’s Square in downtown Beirut, a young man walked past a group of displaced people—many of them Hezbollah loyalists—and shouted “Ya Sayyid, Qus Ummak,” an obscene insult that translates roughly to “Nasrallah, fuck your mother.” Instantly, angry shouts rang out in response, and someone burst from the crowd by a nearby mosque and shot the young man in the leg.This episode—relayed to me by several witnesses—frightened the displaced people in the square, though the dominant emotion was still shock and sorrow.Nasrallah “was a great man; there was no one like him,” a 41-year-old woman named Zahra told me. “We are afraid of where things will go now. And we could be bombed in the streets.”Zahra’s face was wet with tears. Dressed in a black-and-white track suit and a headscarf, she sat alongside her two sisters. They had come from the Dahieh—the southern suburb where Hezbollah is based and where the bombs had struck—early that morning. No one was willing to give them a ride, and they ended up paying 4 million Lebanese lire—more than $44—to a taxi driver for the 15-minute drive to Martyr’s Square. Petty war profiteering is rampant in Lebanon.As Zahra spoke, her sister Munayda interrupted periodically to repeat: “I don’t believe it. I don’t believe he’s dead.”Many other people said the same thing, on the streets and on social media. One insidious consequence of Israel’s year-long campaign of technology-enabled strikes on Lebanon—including the detonation of thousands of booby-trapped electronic pagers earlier this month—is that no one trusts their phones. People have become less connected, more suspicious, more fearful.The bomb that killed Nasrallah also destroyed half a dozen residential towers, and appears likely to have killed large numbers of people. But information trickled out slowly over the weekend because Hezbollah blocked off the area for security reasons.One of the displaced people in Martyr’s Square, a 39-year-old Palestinian woman named Najah who had been living in the Dahieh, told me she had narrowly survived the bombing. She was at home with her three children when the series of bombs struck just before sunset, and “it felt like the missiles were right over our heads,” she said. She crumpled to the floor, she said, expecting another bomb to kill her and her children. When that didn’t happen, she gathered up the kids and ran outside. “It was chaos. The streets were full of people; we were running,” she said. “The sounds of the bombs were still in my head.”Like many others, Najah wept openly as she spoke of Nasrallah. “He’s defending us as Palestinians,” she said. “He didn’t accept injustice.”Nasrallah may have presented himself as a champion of the Palestinian cause, but he also made large swaths of his country into a forward base for Iran’s Islamic republic. And he was willing to sacrifice anyone who got in his way, including a string of prominent Lebanese politicians and journalists. In 2005, an enormous car bomb on Beirut’s seafront killed Lebanon’s former Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri and 22 other people. A team of international investigators concluded that Hezbollah members were responsible for the bombing.Yet Nasrallah was admired even by some who resented the way he held the Lebanese state hostage for decades. He had charm, unlike so many other leaders in a region full of potbellied Islamist prigs and brutal dictators. He was recognized across the Arab world for delivering elegantly composed speeches, starting out calmly and moving toward a finger-wagging vehemence. Along the way he could be funny, even impish, as he relentlessly promoted hatred and violence. And he had an instinct for the dramatic.During the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah, the movement timed the release of one of his prerecorded statements to coincide with a missile attack on one of Israel’s vessels. “The surprises that I have promised you will start now,” Nasrallah told his audience. “Now in the middle of the sea, facing Beirut, the Israeli warship … look at it burning.”Everyone conceded the sincerity of Nasrallah’s zeal, even if its results—a long series of destructive wars and terrorist bombings—was appalling. In 1997, Nasrallah gave a speech just hours after his eldest son was killed in a clash with Israeli soldiers. He did not dwell on his son’s death, but his face registered a battle to conceal his emotions as he spoke. “My son the martyr chose this road by his own will,” he said.Whether or not that was true of his son, it was certainly true of Nasrallah.

Earlier this month, the "Game of Thrones" alum and the Jonas Brothers singer finalized their divorce after pulling the plug on their marriage last year.

Last night’s episode of Saturday Night Live, the premiere of the comedy juggernaut’s 50th season, started with a battle of vibes. The lengthy cold open ping-ponged between campaign rallies for the two main presidential candidates, turning first to Vice President Kamala Harris (played by Maya Rudolph). “Well, well, well. Look who fell out of that coconut tree,” Rudolph said at the top of her speech, referencing the viral meme that buoyed Harris’s candidacy after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race in July. The actor continued with a nod to the comedic persona that she’d first developed for the politician half a decade ago. “Your fun aunt has returned,” Rudolph said. “The ‘funt’ has been rebooted. 2 Funt 2 Furious.”Back when Harris was best known as Biden’s 2020 running mate, Rudolph’s decision to play the politician—a former prosecutor—as a free spirit tapped into an unexpected dimension of her character. By now, SNL viewers are familiar with the “funt” antics, in part because Harris herself has leaned into them. Rudolph’s latest rendition of the VP acknowledged Harris’s newfound prominence on the political and cultural stage, and the shift in how many Americans now seem to view her—and what they want to see more of. “My campaign is like the Sabrina Carpenter song ‘Espresso,’” Rudolph’s Harris said early in the sketch. “The lyrics are vague, but the vibe slaps.”Harris’s speech was the first of many moments when SNL emphasized the strangeness of the current political environment, in which intangible “vibes” are perhaps the single most valuable currency. Throughout the premiere, the show did point to some concrete policy differences between its political characters—Rudolph’s Harris led into her “Espresso” joke with a reassurance that she would protect reproductive rights—but it spent more time depicting their opposing demeanors. “If we win together, we can end the dramala. And the traumala,” Harris promised. “And go relax in our pajamalas.” Meanwhile, the show portrayed former President Donald Trump, played by James Austin Johnson, as seemingly more animated by ambient racial resentment than by a desire for peace or any specific plans for the country. “They say that me blaming the Democrats for inciting violence is the pot calling the kettle Black,” he said over at his rally, skewering Trump’s real-life obsession with Harris’s racial background (and his apparent inability to understand that biracial people exist). “But, frankly, I didn’t know the kettle was Black until very recently. I thought the kettle was Indian, but then he decided to turn Black.”SNL’s mood-based satire extended to its treatment of the vice-presidential nominees. In his debut as Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Harris’s running mate, the guest actor Jim Gaffigan riffed on a rhetorical slogan Walz popularized over the summer. “Trump and Vance are weird, all right? They want the government to control what you do in your bedroom and what books you read,” he said, as Rudolph’s Harris nodded behind him. Gaffigan infused Walz’s well-known earnestness with a more raucous, high energy, otherwise leaning into the governor’s folksy demeanor more than subverting it: “In Minnesota, we have a saying: Mind your damn business. We also have another saying in Minnesota: My nuts froze to the park bench.” In contrast to Rudolph’s Harris happily ceding the floor to her VP pick, Johnson’s Trump more reluctantly called up his running mate, J. D. Vance (played by an amusingly cast Bowen Yang). SNL framed the GOP gathering as lackluster compared with the Democrats’ (almost) hip soiree, a choice that the show also underscored in a later skit led by Yang.On “The Talk Talk Show With Charli XCX,” Yang played the British pop singer whose early Harris endorsement helped propel the vice president to meme-driven popularity among younger voters. The retro-feeling skit, in which Sarah Sherman played the Australian musician Troye Sivan, featured Yang’s Charli XCX interviewing three unlikely guests: the famed Swiss nightlife maven Susanne Bartsch (played by a criminally underutilized Jean Smart, the night’s host), the CNN news anchor Kaitlan Collins (Chloe Fineman), and the congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (Ego Nwodim). Instead of taking advantage of her access to one of Washington’s more recognizable political journalists, Yang’s Charli XCX put all of her hard-hitting questions to Smart’s Bartsch, skipping over Fineman’s Collins. And she used her time with Nwodim’s Crockett to largely mine for potential discourse bait. “I have a song on my album called ‘Mean Girls,’ and you went viral this summer for what you called Marjorie Taylor Greene,” Yang’s Charli said, referencing a verbal spat between the two politicians during a House committee meeting back in May. “I want to hear you pop off on everything, so this is ‘Jasmine Crockett’s Mean-Girl Cam.’” The segment tasked Crockett with offering blistering political commentary in a pithy, quotable fashion. Asked about gerrymandering, she called it out for being a “crazy-shape, crooked bitch.” Something, Crockett implied, just feels wrong about it: “Why is that county shaped like a tapeworm with a hat on?”“Weekend Update” best crystallized the show’s approach to satirizing our current moment: ambience-led, with doses of sharper insight when convenient. Yang took the spotlight while channeling a figure that’s become surprisingly relevant to political conversation. Appearing as the viral pygmy hippo Moo Deng, Yang played his character as an overwhelmed young starlet in the vein of the pop musician Chappell Roan, who’s been publicly wrestling with the weight of fame in recent months. Roan’s anxieties stem in part from how both her zealous fans and commentators across the political spectrum have reacted to recent videos in which she’s expressed reservations about endorsing Harris. Yang’s exasperated, Roan-coded Moo Deng was a wild contrast to Devon Walker’s braggadocian portrayal of the embattled New York City mayor, Eric Adams. Where Moo Deng begged for privacy and emphasized her youth, SNL’s Adams stopped by “Weekend Update” to brag about being the “first mayor to get out of the office and into the VIP” section of nightclubs. Part of what landed the mayor in hot water, the segment suggested, is his obsession with “bringing swagger back to the city.” The most damning thing Walker’s Adams says starts as a positive self-assessment: “What was once a swagless dump is now a swag-tropolis.” After a beat, he added that his tenure has also left New York “with significantly more crime than before.” As it turns out, vibes aren’t actually everything. SNL, at moments, seemed to recognize that. Politicians probably should too.
