An Israeli official confirms to The Times of Israel that today’s strike on Beirut targeted Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
“It’s very hard to imagine him coming out alive from a strike like that,” says the official.
The official’s comments came as Hebrew media reports cite a growing Israeli assessment that Nasrallah was killed in the strike on Hezbollah’s underground headquarters.
