The body of Hezbollah’s Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, who died Friday, has been recovered from the rubble at site of the “Israeli” airstrike that targeted the group’s main headquarters in Beirut’s Southern Suburbs.

 

Medical and security sources told Reuters that Hassan Nasrallah’s body had no direct wounds; which would most likely point to blunt trauma as the cause of death.

 

A report by Hebrew channel 12 said that it is believed Nasrallah died as a result of suffocation. At the time of the strike, he was in a room without ventilation, and due to the gas from the “Israeli” air force bombs, Nasrallah suffocated to death.

 

Al-Jazeera reported that his body is being transferred to a hospital in the Lebanese capital Beirut.

 

The “Israeli” air force used 2,000-pound bunker-buster bombs loaded on F-15i fighter jets to kill Hasan Nasrallah along with several top leaders after obtaining intelligence of a high-level meeting at the known Hezbollah bastion – the area of Dahieh.

 

Bunker-busters can penetrate and strike targets dozens of meters underground. According to an analyst cited by The New York Times, eight jets conducted the strike and at least 15 2,000-pound munitions with an American-made precision guidance system that attaches to bombs were used.
