Hebrew media reports: Growing Israeli assessment Nasrallah killed in Beirut strike
Israel’s Channel 12 news reports the assessment in Israel is that Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah was killed in tonight’s IDF strike on the terror group’s underground HQ in Beirut.
Its on-screen headline reads, “The assessment in Israel: Nasrallah is eliminated.”
A second major Israeli TV station, Channel 13, is slightly more wary, stating, “Cautious optimism in Israel: The strike on Nasrallah succeeded.”
Kan TV, the state-owned broadcaster, initially uses an on-screen headline saying Nasrallah is believed to have been “harmed,” but soon also reports what it says is the Israeli assessment that he is dead.
