Hezbollah 'recovers' body of Hassan Nasrallah

Hezbollah recovered on Sunday the body of its Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah from the site of the Israeli strike in the southern suburbs of Beirut, the international media reports said.

The party also confirmed the death of its southern commander, Ali Karaki.

Two sources told Reuters that while the body showed no direct wounds, the likely cause of death was severe shock from the force of the explosion.

Lebanon’s Hezbollah confirmed on Saturday that its leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was killed and vowed to continue the battle against Israel.

Israel said earlier that it had killed the Hezbollah leader in an airstrike in Beirut’s southern suburbs a day earlier, in what would be a devastating blow to the group as it reels from an escalating campaign of Israeli attacks.
