Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah b. August 31, 1960, Bourj Hammoud,Beirut, Lebanon, is the current and third Secretary General of the Lebanese Islamist party and paramilitary organization Hezbollah. Nasrallah became the leader of Hezbollah after Israel assassinated the movement's leader Abbas al-Musawi in 1992. Hezbollah's military campaigns of the late 1990s were the main factors that led to the Israeli decision to withdraw from Southern Lebanon in 2000.
Hassan Nasrallah was born the ninth of ten children in East Beirut's Bourj Hammoud neighborhood on August 31, 1960. His father, Abdul Karim, was born in Bazouriyeh, a village in Jabal Amel (South Lebanon) located near Tyre. Although his family was not particularly religious, Hassan was interested in theological studies. He attended an-Najah school and later a public school in Sin el-Fil (Christian area) Beirut.
In 1975, the civil war in Lebanon forced the family to move to their ancestral home in Bassouriyeh, where Hasan Nasrallah completed his secondary education at the public school of Sour (Tyre). Here he joined the Amal Movement, a Lebanese Shi'a political group.
Nasrallah studied at the Shi'a seminary in the Beqaa Valley town of Baalbek. The school followed the teachings of Iraqi-born Ayatollah Mohammad Baqir al-Sadr, who founded the Dawa movement in Najaf, Iraq during the early 1960s. Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein had Sadr executed in 1980. After a period of Islamic study in Najaf, Nasrallah returned to Lebanon in 1978 when Iraq expelled hundreds of Lebanese religious students. He studied and taught at the school of Amal’s leader Abbas al-Musawi, later being selected as Amal's political delegate in Beqaa, and making him a member of the central political office.
Nasrallah joined Hezbollah after the 1982 Lebanon War with Israel. His fiery and sharp sermons drew the admiration of the southern society, followers who joined Nasrallah in organizing Hezbollah. In 1987, Hassan Nasrallah traveled to a seminary in Qom, Iran for religious studies. He returned to the war in Lebanon in 1989 and later that year, went back to Iran to represent Hezbollah.
In 1991, Musawi became secretary general of Hezbollah and Nasrallah returned to Lebanon. Nasrallah replaced Musawi as Hezbollah's leader after the latter was killed with his wife and child by Israeli forces.Nasrallah lived in South Beirut with his wife Fatimah Yasin (who comes from the Lebanese village of Al-Abbasiyah) and five children: Muhammad Haadi (d. 1997), Muhammad Jawaad, Zainab, Muhammad Ali and Muhammad Mahdi. In September 1997, his eldest son Muhammad Haadi was killed by Israeli forces in Jabal al-Rafei in southern Lebanon.
In the mid-1970s, Nasrallah moved to a Shiite Hawzah (Arabic for seminary) in the Iraqi holy city of Najaf, completing the first stage of his studies in 1978. He was then forced to leave by the Iraqi authorities.
Despite his ongoing commitment to Hezbollah, in 1989 Nasrallah resumed his efforts to become a religious jurist by moving to the Iranian city of Qom to further his studies. Nasrallah believes that Islam holds the solution to the problems of any society, once saying, “With respect to us, briefly, Islam is not a simple religion including only praises and prayers, rather it is a divine message that was designed for humanity, and it can answer any question man might ask concerning his general and private life. Islam is a religion designed for a society that can revolt and build a state.
Leadership of Hezbollah
Nasrallah became the leader of Hezbollah after Israel assassinated the movement’s leader Abbas al-Musawi in 1992. Hezbollah's military campaigns of the late 1990s were the main factors that led to the Israeli decision to withdraw from Southern Lebanon in 2000, thus ending 18 years of occupation. This move greatly increased Hezbollah's popularity in Lebanon and across the Islamic countries.
Consequently, Nasrallah is widely credited in Lebanon and the Arab world for ending the Israeli occupation in Southern Lebanon, something which has greatly bolstered the party's political standing within Lebanon.
Nasrallah also played a major role in a complex prisoner exchange deal between Israel and Hezbollah in 2004, resulting in hundreds of Palestinian and Lebanese prisoners being freed and the dead body of his son with many more returning to Lebanon. The agreement was described across the Arab world as a great victory for Hezbollah with Nasrallah being personally praised for achieving these gains.
A December article in the London-based Asharq Al-Awsat reported that command of the organization's military wing was transferred from Nasrallah to his deputy, Na'im Qasim in August 2007. Hezbollah has refuted this claim, declaring it an attempt to "weaken the popularity" of the movement.
National compact with Free Patriotic Movement of Michel Aoun
Nasrallah negotiated a Memorandum of Understanding with the Free Patriotic Movement of Michel Aoun, the former premier and a Maronite Christian. Aoun described the ten-point compact in an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal published July 31, 2006. A key point is that Hezbollah agreed to disarm upon the return of its prisoners and the occupied Shebaa Farms. It also agreed to the pardon and return of fugitive South Lebanon Army (SLA) members now declared traitors. The Free Patriotic Movement in turn agreed to work for reform of the confessional electoral system of the Parliament of Lebanon and move it in the direction of one man, one vote. Aoun made the point that the political process was in effect disarming Hezbollah without any loss in lives from unnecessary wars.Critics of this agreement say that is not very clear concerning the disarmament, and that it strengthened Hezbollah internally, giving it a non-Shiite cover.
2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict
On August 3, 2006,Hassan Nasrallah vowed to strike Tel Aviv in retaliation for Israel's bombardment of Lebanon's capital, Beirut. "If you hit Beirut, the Islamic resistance will hit Tel Aviv and is able to do that with God's help," Nasrallah said in a televised address. He said in his television address Hezbollah forces were inflicting maximum casualties on Israeli ground troops.
Even before the conflict ended, Nasrallah came under intense criticism from pro-Western Arab regimes, including Jordan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia. Jordan's King Abdullah II and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak warned on July 14 of the risk of "the region being dragged into adventurism that does not serve Arab interests," while Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal called the Hezbollah attacks "unexpected, inappropriate and irresponsible acts." He went further, saying, "These acts will pull the whole region back to years ago, and we cannot simply accept them."
Nasrallah also came under intense criticism from some in Lebanon. Walid Jumblatt, leader of the Progressive Socialist Party of Lebanon and the most prominent leader of the Druze community, spoke out quite forcefully: "Great, so he's a hero. But I'd like to challenge this heroism of his. I have the right to challenge it, because my country is in flames. Besides, we did not agree..."Jumblatt is also quoted as saying: "He is willing to let the Lebanese capital burn while he haggles over terms of surrender."
Following the cease-fire, which Nasrallah and Hezbollah declared a great victory, came what is known as the "Green Flood" (Al-sayl al-akhdhar), according to Iranian-born journalist Amir Taheri. "This refers to the massive amounts of U.S. dollar notes that Hezbollah is distributing among Shiites in Beirut and the south. The dollars from Iran are ferried to Beirut via Syria and distributed through networks of militants. Anyone who can prove that his home was damaged in the war receives $12,000, a tidy sum in wartorn Lebanon.
In a TV interview aired on Lebanon's New TV station, Sunday, 27 August, Nasrallah said that he would not have ordered the capture of two Israeli soldiers if he had known it would lead to such a war: "We do not think, even 1 percent, that the capture led to a war at this time and of this magnitude. I'm convinced and sure that this war was planned and that the capture of this hostages was just their excuse to start this war, but if I had known on July 11 ... that the operation would lead to such a war, would I do it? I say no, absolutely not."
Views on international politics
On Israel and the Arab-Israeli conflict
Nasrallah said "There is no solution to the conflict in this region except with the disappearance of Israel"
In another interview with The Washington Post, Nasrallah said "I am against any reconciliation with Israel. I do not even recognize the presence of a state that is called 'Israel.' I consider its presence both unjust and unlawful. That is why if Lebanon concludes a peace agreement with Israel and brings that accord to the Parliament our deputies will reject it; Hezbollah refuses any conciliation with Israel in principle."
Despite declaring "death to Israel" in his public appearances, Nasrallah said in an interview to The New Yorker, "At the end of the road no one can go to war on behalf of the Palestinians, even if that one is not in agreement with what the Palestinians agreed on."When asked whether he was prepared to live with a two-state settlement between Israel and Palestine, he said he would not sabotage what is a "Palestinian matter", but that until such a settlement is reached, he will continue to encourage Palestinian suicide bombers.
On May 26, 2000, after the Israeli withdrawal from south Lebanon Hassan Nassrallah said: "I tell you: this "Israel" that owns nuclear weapons and the strongest air force in this region is more fragile than a spiderweb". Arie W. Kruglanski, Moshe Ya'alon, Bruce Hoffman, Efraim Inbar, and YNET interpret the "spider web" theory as the notion, articulated by Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, that Israel's reverence for human life, the hedonistic nature of the Israeli society, and its self-indulgent Western values make it weak, soft, and vulnerable. Such a society, though technologically advanced, will crumble under continued war and bloodshed.
On Killing Israeli civilians
According to Joseph Alagha, The Hezbollah and its leader Hassan Nasrallah regard the Jews living in Israel, either civilian or not, as "racist Zionists Jews" who should be killed.
On Jews and Judaism
According to Shaul Shai, Hassan Nasrallah has often made sharp anti-Semitic statements that not only revile Israel as a state, but also the entire Jewish people, while using themes taken from classic and Muslim antisemitism.
Two of the examples he quotes:
According to Shaul Shai, Hassan Nasrallah said in a speech delivered in Beirut and aired on Al-Manar TV in September 28, 2001: "What do the Jews want? They want security and money. Throughout history the Jews have been Allah's most cowardly and avaricious creatures. If you look all over the world, you will find no one more miserly or greedy than they are."
In a 1998 speech marking the Day of Ashura, and published in what was Hassan Nasrallah's official website at that time, Nasrallah referred to Israel as "the state of the grandsons of apes and pigs – the Zionist Jews" and condemned them as "the murderers of the prophets." The Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA), a pro-Israel media watchdog group, MEMRI, and Shaul Shai interpret this language as broadly antisemitic.
Badih Chayban in his October 23, 2002 article in The Daily Star, Nasrallah said that "if [Jews] all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide." Charles Glass believes that the quotation was likely a fabrication, citing other published accounts of Nasrallah's speech that had no reference to the anti-Semitic comment, and statements by the editor-in-chief of the Lebanese newspaper which published the quotes, that questioned both the translation and the "agenda of the translator." Glass also wrote that a Hezbollah spokeswoman, Wafa Hoteit, denied that Nasrallah made the statement.
Saad-Ghorayeb quotes Hassan Nasrallah as saying, "If we searched the entire world for a person more cowardly, despicable, weak and feeble in psyche, mind, ideology and religion, we would not find anyone like the Jew. Notice, I do not say the Israeli." Charles Glass questions the attribution of the quote to Nasrallah, noting that both the footnote in Saad-Ghorayeb's book and her original dissertation instead attribute the quote to an interview she conducted with a Hezbollah member of the Lebanese Parliament, Muhammad Fneish.
On the September 11, 2001 attacks and the United States
"What do the people who worked in those two World Trade Center towers, along with thousands of employees, women and men, have to do with war that is taking place in the Middle East? Or the war that Mr. George Bush may wage on people in the Islamic world? ... Therefore we condemned this act -- and any similar act we condemn. ... I said nothing about the Pentagon, meaning we remain silent. We neither favored nor opposed that act .... Well, of course, the method of Osama bin Laden, and the fashion of bin Laden, we do not endorse them. And many of the operations that they have carried out, we condemned them very clearly."
US President George W. Bush, the Official White House website, the Claremont Institute, and CAMERA, cite Hassan Nasrallah as saying during a speech aired on Beirut Al-Manar Television in September 27, 2002: "Let the entire world hear me. Our hostility to the Great Satan is absolute. … I conclude my speech with the slogan that will continue to reverberate on all occasions so that nobody will think that we have weakened. Regardless of how the world has changed after 11 September, Death to America will remain our reverberating and powerful slogan: Death to America".
On Salman Rushdie and the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy
During the 2006 Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah declared in a speech aired on Al-Manar TV and Al-Jazeera TV that: "If there had been a Muslim to carry out Imam Khomeini's fatwā against the renegade Salman Rushdie, this rabble who insult our Prophet Mohammed in Denmark, Norway and France would not have dared to do so. I am sure there are millions of Muslims who are ready to give their lives to defend our prophet's honour and we have to be ready to do anything for that."
Holocaust denial
According to the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Robert Satloff, in a speech carried during the Shi'ite Moslem "Ashura" flagellation ceremony on April 9, 2000, Hassan Nasrallah said that: "The Jews invented the legend of the Nazi atrocities. It is clear that the numbers they talk about are greatly exaggerated".
According to MEMRI, in a speech aired on Al-Manar TV and Al-Jazeera TV in 2006, Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah expressed support for Holocaust denier Roger Garaudy calling him a "great French philosopher" who "proved that this Holocaust is a myth".
The Palestinian refugees in Lebanon
According to CAMERA, Nasrallah stated that "The Lebanese refuse to give the Palestinians residing in Lebanon Lebanese citizenship, and we refuse their resettlement in Lebanon. There is Lebanese consensus on this...we thank God that we all agree on one clear and definite result; namely, that we reject the resettlement of the Palestinians in Lebanon."
Pre-2000 Israeli occupation of Lebanon
"If we are to expel the Israeli occupation from our country, how do we do this? We noticed what happened in Palestine, in the West Bank, in the Gaza Strip, in the Golan, in the Sinai. We reached a conclusion that we cannot rely on the Arab League states, nor on the United Nations .... The only way that we have is to take up arms and fight the occupation forces."
2008 Assassination Attempt
Almalaf, an Iraqi news source on 15, October 2008, quoted sources in Lebanon saying Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was poisoned last week and that he was saved by Iranian doctors who went to Lebanon to treat him. The sources told the paper that a particularly poisonous chemical substance was used against the Shi'a resistance leader. His medical condition was apparently critical for several days until Iranian doctors came and managed to save his life. Almalaf claimed that the sources believed it was highly likely that the poisoning was an Israeli assassination attempt.
Hezbollah has denied that Nasrallah was poisoned. Lebanese parliament member Al-Hajj Hassan, a member of Hezbollah, said: "This is a lie and a fabrication. It' true that I haven't seen Nasrallah this past week, but he's okay." The Iranian doctors arrived on Sunday at approximately 11:00 P.M., apparently on a special military flight. Officials considered flying Nasrallah to Iran for further treatment, according to Almalaf.
In September 1997, a Mossad team tried to assassinate Hamas political chief, Khaled Mashal, by drizzling poison in his ear. The attempt failed, and two of the agents were captured while others found refuge in the Israeli embassy in Amman. Nasrallah's second-in-command Imad Mughniyah was assassinated in February in a Damascus bomb blast. Hezbollah accused Israel of responsibility for the explosion, although Israel has denied responsibility for the act. His predecessor Abbas al Musawi was killed in an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon in 1992.
Nasrallah's refutation of the attempt
On October 25, 2008 and in an interview with the Hezbollah owned Al-Manar channel, Nasrallah refuted the assassination attempt accusing the Israelis and Americans in fabricating the story and considering it as part of the ongoing psychological war against Hezbollah that aimed to imply that the party is suffering from internal disputes and assassination plots.
He also explained that "if research was done on the internet websites posting such unfounded information, it would reveal that they are all being run from that same dark room, and that their aim is to serve American-Israeli interests."
He added that at first the organization had considered denying the false information with a written message, "but when the news agencies began to publish it we decided to hold a televised interview, and here I am before you telling you I was not poisoned."
Nasrallah in popular culture
Two popular songs were written about Nasrallah during the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict, with vastly different views of the Hezbollah leader: The Hawk of Lebanon in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and Yalla Ya Nasrallah in Israel. More recently in 2007, Lebanese singer Alaa Zalzali composed a tribute song entitled Ya Nasrallah. Another popular song composed in tribute to him was by Lebanese Christian singer Julia Boutros, called "Ahebba'i" meaning "my loved ones", which was inspired by Nasrallah's words in a televised message he sent to Hezbollah fighters in southern Lebanon during the 2006 War.

حياته وميلاده
وُلد حسن نصر الله عبد الكريم نصر الله في بلدة البازورية الجنوبية القريبة من مدينة صور ( 10 كلم شرقي صور ) في 30 أغسطس عام 1960. اضطر و هو صغير و بسبب ضيق حال العائلة و انعدام فرص العمل في بلدته الجنوبية التي كانت تشكو كغيرها من قرى وبلدات المنطقة من الفقر و الإهمال و الحرمان للنزوح مع عائلته إلى مدينة بيروت وهناك أقامت العائلة في منطقة الكرنتينا في أطراف العاصمة، و في هذه المنطقة قضى حسن نصر الله أغلب أيام طفولته .
ساعد في أولى أيام حياته والده عبد الكريم نصرالله في بيع الخضار و الفاكه.
دراسته و تحصيله الديني
أتم دراسته الإبتدائية في مدرسة حي "النجاح"، ثم درس في مدرسة سن الفيل الرسمية.ثم كان أن اندلعت الحرب الأهلية في لبنان فرجع مع عائلته إلى بلدته البازورية في الجنوب وهناك تابع دراسته الثانوية في مدرسة ثانوية صور الرسمية للبنين .
خلال وجوده في البازورية إلتحق حسن نصرالله بصفوف حركة أمل الشيعية التي أسسها الإمام موسى الصدر، وكان خياره يبدو غريبا ً حينها عن توجهات البلدة السياسية التي كانت تأخذ الطابع الشيوعي والماركسي وذلك لكثرة الشيوعيين الموجودين فيها إبان ذلك الوقت ، ثم أصبح مندوب الحركة في بلدته .
وفي مدينة صور تعرّف نصرالله إلى محمد الغروي الذي كان يقوم بتدريس العلوم الإسلامية في إحدى مساجد المدينة بإسم الإمام الصدر ، وبعد مدة من لقائهم طلب نصر الله من الغروي مساعدته في الذهاب إلى مدينة النجف العراقية إحدى أهم مدن الشيعة والتي تتلمذ فيها كبار علماء الدين الشيعة ،وبالفعل فإن الغروي ساعده في الذهاب إلى النجف بعد أن حمّله كتاب توصية لمحمد باقر الصدر أحد أهم رجال الدين الشيعة عبر تاريخهم، وبوصوله إلى النجف لم يكن قد بقي بحوزة السيد نصرالله قرشا ً واحدا، وهناك سأل عن كيفية القدرة على الإتصال بمحمد باقر الصدر فدلوه على شخص يدعى عباس الموسوي، وعندما التقى به خاطبه نصر الله بالعربية الفصحى ظنا ً منه أنه عراقي لكنه فوجىء بأن الموسوي لبناني من بلدة النبي شيث البقاعية وهذا اللقاء كان محور تغير هام في حياة نصرالله ، كونه وإبتداءً من هذه اللحظة فإن صداقة قوية ومتينة ستقوم بين الرجلين الذين كتبا فصلا ً هاما ً من تاريخ لبنان الحديث عبر مساهمتهما في إنشاء وتأسيس حزب الله اللبناني عام 1982 خارجا عن أمل الشيعية.
بعد لقاء نصرالله بالسيدمحمد باقر الصدر، طلب الصدر من الموسوي رعاية نصرالله والإعتناء به وتأمين ما يلزم له من مال وإحتياجات كما عهد له بتدريسه ، وكان الموسوي صارما ً في دوره كمعلم وبفضل تدريسه المتشدد إستطاع طلابه أن ينهوا خلال سنتين ما يعطى عادة خلال خمس سنوات في الحوزة ، فالتدريس عند الموسوي عملية متواصلة ليس بها انقطاع أو عطل حتى في أيام العطل الرسمية فإن دروسه لا تتوقف وهذه الأجواء أمّنت لنصرالله الفرصة بإنهاء علومه الدينية في فترة سريعة نسبيا ً حيث أنهى المرحلة الأولى بنجاح في العام 1978 .
في هذه الفترة كان المناخ السياسي العراقي قد بدأ بالتغير بشكل عام حيث أخذ نظام البعث الحاكم بالتضييق على الطلبة الدينيين من مختلف الجنسيات ، ويبدو أن وضع الطلبة اللبنانيين كان أسوأ من غيرهم حيث بدأت التهم تلاحقهم يمينا ً وشمالا ً تارة ً بالإنتماء إلى حزب الدعوة وتارة ً أخرى بالإنتماء إلى حركة أمل وأيضا ً بتهم الولاء إلى نظام البعث السوري الحاكم في سوريا والذي كان في عداوة مطلقة مع نظام البعث العراقي.
وفي أحد تلك الأيام اقتحم رجال الأمن العراقي الحوزة التي كان يدرس بها نصرالله بهدف إلقاء القبض على عباس الموسوي الذي كان حينها مغادرا ً إلى لبنان فلم يجدوا سوى عائلته فأخبروها بمنعه من العودة مجددا ً للعراق . ومن حسن حظ نصرالله أنه لم يكن موجودا ً في الحوزة حينها حيث تم إعتقال رفاقه الباقين ، وهنا أدرك أنه لم يعد هناك مجالا ً للبقاء بالعراق فغادر عائدا ً على وجه السرعة إلى لبنان قبل أن تتمكن السلطات العراقية من إلقاء القبض عليه .
وبعد أن عاد نصرالله إلى لبنان إلتحق بالحوزة الدينية في بعلبك وهناك تابع حياته العلمية معلما ً وطالبا ً، إضافة ً إلى ممارسته العمل السياسي والمقاوم ضمن صفوف تنظيم حركة أمل الشيعية التي كانت قد بلغت أوجها في ذلك الحين ، وبفضل قوة شخصيته ومتانة عقيدته وصدق إلتزامه وإخلاصه فإن ذلك الشاب الذي كان بالكاد قد بلغ العشرين من عمره إستطاع الوصول إلى منصب مندوب الحركة في البقاع .
حياته السياسية
عام 1982 كان عاما ً مفصليا ً في حياة نصرالله ففي هذا العام وقع الإجتياح الإسرائيلي للبنان وبوقوعه حصلت أزمة في صفوف أمل بين تيارين متقابلين ، تيار يقوده نبيه بري رئيس مجلس النواب اللبناني وكان يطالب بالإنضمام إلى "جبهة الإنقاذ الوطني " وتيار أخر أصولي متدين كان نصرالله والموسوي أحد أعضائه وكان يعارض هذا الأمر ، وبتفاقم النزاع انشق التيار المتدين عن تيار نبيه بري لكونهم قد سجلوا عليه مآخذ كثيرة بسبب الإختلاف في تفسير الإرشاد الذي خلّفه موسى الصدر.
والجدير بالذكر أن التيار المتدين كان يعارض الإنضمام إلى جبهة الإنقاذ الوطني بسبب وجود بشير الجميل فيها وكانوا يعتبرونها تهدف إلى إيصال هذا الأخير إلى رئاسة الجمهورية . والجميل هذا كان خطا ً أحمرا ً لدى تيار المتدينين بسبب موالاته لإسرائيل. وهنا كانت البداية الأولى لظهور حزب الله اللبناني، حيث بدأ هؤلاء الشباب بالإتصال برفقائهم الحركيين في مختلف المناطق اللبنانية بهدف تحريضهم على ترك تيار برّي والإنضمام إلى حزب الله .
عند ولادة حزب الله لم يكن نصرالله عضوا ً في القيادة فهو لم يكن حينها قد تجاوز ال22 ربيعا ً وكانت مسؤولياته الأولى تنحصر بتعبئة المقاومين وإنشاء الخلايا العسكرية .
بعد فترة تسلم نصرالله منصب نائب مسؤول منطقة بيروت الذي كان يشغله إبراهيم أمين السيد أحد نواب حزب الله السابقين في البرلمان اللبناني واستمر السيد نصرالله بالصعود داخل سلم المسؤولية في حزب الله فتولى لاحقا ً مسؤولية منطقة بيروت ثم استُحدث بعد ذلك منصب المسؤول التنفيذي العام المكلّف بتطبيق قرارات "مجلس الشورى"، فشغله نصر الله.
ولكن يبدو أن المسؤولية والمناصب لم تكن تستهوي نصرالله بالقدر الكافي بل إن اهتمامه الحقيقي كان يتجه صوب تكملة دراسته الدينية، ولذلك فإنه وبعد مدة غادر بيروت متجها ً نحو إيران وتحديدا ً إلى مدينة قم لمتابعة دروسه الدينية هناك ولكن التطورات الحاصلة على الساحة اللبنانية خصوصا ً لجهة النزاعات المسلحة بين حزب الله وحركة أمل اضطرته للعودة مجددا ً للبنان . بعودته لم يكن لنصرالله مسؤولية محددة فمنصبه كمسؤول تنفيذي عام كان قد سـُلـِم لنعيم قاسم وهكذا بقي نصرالله من دون منصب حتى انتخاب عباس الموسوي أمينا ً عاما ً فعين قاسم نائبا ً له وعاد حسن نصرالله لمسؤوليته السابقة .
أمين عام حزب الله
في عام 1992 اغتالت إسرائيل أمين عام حزب الله عباس الموسوي فتم الإتجاه إلى انتخاب حسن نصرالله أمينا ً عاما ً للحزب بالرغم من أن سنه كان صغير على تولي هذه المسؤولية ولكن يبدو أن صفات نصرالله القيادية وتأثيره الكبير على صفوف وأوساط قواعد حزب الله قد لعبت دورا ً مؤثرا ً في هذا الإتجاه وبالفعل فإن انتخابه كان له الأثر الأبرز في تثبيت وحدة الحزب بقوة بعد الضربة القاسية التي تلقاها لتوّه. وفي ذلك العام وبعد أشهر قليلة من اغتيال الأمين العام السابق الموسوي فإن حزب الله اختار الدخول إلى قلب المعترك السياسي اللبناني فشارك في الانتخابات النيابية التي جرت في ذلك العام وحصد عددا ً من المقاعد النيابية عن محافظتي الجنوب والبقاع وهذه الكتلة كبرت وازدادت عددا ً في الانتخابات النيابية اللاحقةأعوام 1996 و 2000 و 2005 وهي تعرف بإسم " كتلة الوفاء للمقاومة ". وفي عام 1997 فقد نصرالله إبنه البكر هادي في مواجهات دارت بين مقاتلي الحزب وجيش العدو الإسرائيلي في منطقة الجبل الرفيع جنوب لبنان .وقد تأثر بهذا الحدث أيما تأثير لمكانته الكبيرة لديه. لكن ذلك لم يؤثر عليه حتى نجحت المقاومة اللبنانية في تحرير معظم جنوب لبنان عام 2000 ولا تزال المواجهة مستمرة.
و لقد وجه له محمد حسنين هيكل كلمات تعكس إلى حد بعيد الموقف ، حينما كتب إليهَ معزياً بوفاة نجله البكر «هادي» قائلا: (لقد رأينا الأبوّة تُمتحن بالجهاد إلى درجة الشهادة، و رأينا الجهاد يُمتحن بالأبوّة إلى درجة البطولة. إنني لا أعرف ماذا أقول لك؟ فلا أنا راضٍ عن كلمة عزاء أواسيك بها، فأيّ كلمة عاجزة، ولا أنا قادر على الصلاة من أجلك، فصلاتك أقرب إلى عرش الله من أيّ قول أو همس يصدر عنّي أو عن غيري).
شخصية و كاريزما
يتمتع حسن نصر الله بكاريزما و شخصية قويتين، فخطبه الحماسية والواثقة في أيام الاحتلال الإسرائيلي لجنوب لبنان , وفي حرب لبنان 2006 أثرت في الكثيرين على مستوى العالم العربي والإسلامي ، وقد خرجت المظاهرات المؤيدة له في لبنان و عدد من الدول العربية، و يعتقد البعض أن حسن نصر الله يعتبر أكثر الشخصيات التى تقوم بدور الزعامة في مواجهة إسرائيل بعد رحيل الزعيم المصري جمال عبد الناصر، ويذهب البعض إلى أبعد من هذا حينما يعتبرونه رمزا لمقاومة الإحتلال وقوى الاستعمار في العصر الحديث على غرار عبد القادر الجزائري وعمر المختار، و يعدّ حسن نصر الله من الشخصيات القليلة التى تحسب (إسرائيل) ألف حساب لتهديداته و وعوده، وهو يتمتع بشعبية كبيرة خارج لبنان و خصوصاً في مصر وسوريا وفلسطين والمغرب العربي و البحرين و العراق لمواقفه ضد إسرائيل.
حياته الخاصة
حسن نصر الله متزوج من فاطمة ياسين، وله منها خمسة أولاد: محمد هادي، محمد جواد، زينب، محمد علي, محمد مهدي. واستشهد محمد هادي نصر الله في أيام الإحتلال الإسرائيلي.
