٠٠:٠٢:٤٥Police clashed with protesters in Indian-administered Kashmir on Saturday as hundreds rallied in the Muslim-majority region to denounce the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
Footage shows officers dispersing crowds seen marching with pictures of Nasrallah and waving Hezbollah flags.
It comes as some politicians in North Kashmir have reportedly suspended their campaigns ahead of regional elections to pay their respects and express condolences over the killing of the Hezbollah leader.
On Saturday, Hezbollah confirmed reports that its Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah had died following an Israeli airstrike on the militant group's central headquarters in Beirut's southern suburbs.
In a statement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Nasrallah's death 'settled the account' with a 'mass murderer', describing the Hezbollah leader as a terrorist and the 'central engine of Iran's axis of evil'.
On Monday (September 23), Israel announced the start of a campaign of airstrikes on Hezbollah positions dubbed 'Operation Northern Arrows'. The Lebanese Ministry of Health reported that these attacks have resulted in more than 1,030 deaths and left 6,300 people injured.
Tensions between the sides escalated in mid-September after a series of explosions of wireless communications devices used by Hezbollah left dozens dead and thousands injured. Hezbollah responded by launching hundreds of rockets into northern Israel.
Hezbollah, Lebanese, and Palestinian factions have been exchanging cross-border shelling with the Israeli forces since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.
