The leader of Hezbollah’s body has been found, according to sources.
The body of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has been recovered from the site of an Israeli air attack on Beirut’s southern suburbs and is intact, a medical source and a security source told Reuters on Sunday.
While Hezbollah’s statement on Saturday confirming Nasrallah’s death did not say how exactly he was killed nor when his funeral would be, the two sources said his body had no direct wounds and that it appeared the cause of death was blunt trauma from the force of the blast.
Nasrallah’s death is by far the most significant blow in a devastating fortnight for Hezbollah during which it suffered a deadly attack on thousands of wireless communications devices used by its members. Israel also stepped up airstrikes that have killed several commanders and hit areas across much of Lebanon.
