Defense officials tell NYT Israel knew of Nasrallah’s whereabouts for months before strike

Israel knew of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah’s location for months before launching the strike that killed him yesterday, three senior Israeli defense officials tell The New York Times.

The decision to strike him was made this week as Israel believed the window of opportunity to take him out would close, the unnamed officials say.

Hezbollah members found and identified Nasrallah’s body on Saturday morning along with the terror group’s southern front commander, Ali Karaki.
