Hezbollah ‘recovers’ leader Hassan Nasrallah’s ‘intact’ body from ruined bunker after Israeli blast

HEZBOLLAH said yesterday it had recovered its leader’s body from his ruined bunker after an Israeli blast.

Hassan Nasrallah, 64, and aides appeared to have been killed by the force of the explosion alone rather than falling debris.

Medical and security sources said his corpse was found intact with no direct wounds at the site of the air attack on Beirut’s southern suburbs.

Bombs fitted with satellite guidance kit, were filmed on Israeli jets taking off from base before blitzing the terrorist HQ in Lebanon.

They were filmed returning minus their payload after six buildings were felled, entombing Nasrallah, and other commanders on Friday.

The death toll across Lebanon has now topped 1,000.

Israeli military spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said: “We are continuing to eliminate the commanders of Hezbollah.”

Israel was on high alert for a terror backlash.

Ex-Israeli intelligence analyst Lt Col Sarit Zehavi said: “There is no question the terror group Nasrallah built has been deeply damaged and will never be the same but we have to wait for Iran’s next move.”
