The body of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has been recovered from the site of an Israeli airstrike on Beirut’s southern suburbs and is intact, a medical source and a security source tell Reuters.
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 say his body had no direct wounds and that it appeared the cause of death was blunt trauma from the force of the blast.
Yesterday, The New York Times reported Hezbollah members found and identified Nasrallah’s body on Saturday morning along with that of the terror group’s southern front commander, Ali Karaki.
