Beirut, Lebanon (dmtNews) – The body of Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, has been discovered at the site of an Israeli airstrike in the southern suburbs of Beirut, Lebanon’s capital. According to medical and security sources, Nasrallah’s body was found intact following the attack that reportedly killed him on Friday, September 27, local time.
Hezbollah confirmed Nasrallah’s death in a statement released on Saturday, September 28, noting that he was killed along with several other Hezbollah members “after a dangerous Zionist attack in the southern suburbs of Beirut.”
However, the group did not provide additional details regarding the exact circumstances of Nasrallah’s death or when his burial would take place.
On Sunday, September 29, local sources reported that Nasrallah’s body was found without direct injuries from the Israeli airstrike. Medical and security sources, as reported by Reuters and Al Arabiya, indicated that the apparent cause of death was blunt force trauma resulting from the blast impact during the Israeli bombardment.
Nasrallah’s death marks a significant blow to Hezbollah amid a series of deadly attacks targeting the group’s communications infrastructure. Over the past two weeks, Israeli military operations have intensified, reportedly killing several senior Hezbollah commanders and striking various locations across Lebanon.
Following Nasrallah’s death, Israeli forces continued their airstrikes, targeting dozens of Hezbollah positions throughout Lebanon. Local authorities reported that at least 105 individuals were killed in the Israeli air assaults on Lebanon on Sunday, September 29, local time.
