A source close to Lebanon’s Hezbollah group says contact had been “lost” since last evening with chief Hassan Nasrallah, after Israel said it had “eliminated” him in a strike on the group’s southern Beirut bastion.

“Contact with Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has been lost since Friday evening,” says the source, requesting anonymity to discuss sensitive matters. He did not confirm whether Nasrallah had been killed.
