29-09-2024

BEIRUT/ CAIRO: The body of Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has been recovered from the site of an Israeli air attack on Beirut’s southern suburbs and is intact, a medical source and a security source told media on Sunday 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 said his body had no direct wounds and that it appeared the cause of death was blunt trauma from the force of the blast.

Israel Air Force (IAF) jets struck Hezbollah terror targets across Lebanon on Sunday, the military said.

Among the attacked targets were launchers directed at Israeli territory, weapons storage facilities, and military structures, the IDF added.

Hezbollah confirmed on Sunday that its senior leader Ali Karaki was killed in an Israeli strike that targeted some of the group’s other senior figures including its chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in Lebanon.

Some ten rockets were fired at Israeli territory from Lebanon following the sirens that sounded in northern Galilee, the military said on Sunday.

The IDF noted that it had intercepted some of the rockets.

Multiple rocket sirens sounded in Afula and the area of the Lower Galilee in northern Israel, starting at 2:26 p.m. on Sunday.

Rocket alerts blared in Nazareth, Kfar Tavor, and Merhavya, among other localities.

An IAF aircraft struck Hamas terrorists operating in a command and control center in the northern Gaza Strip, the military said on Sunday.

The center was embedded in a compound that had previously been used as a school, the military specified, and was utilized by Hamas to carry out terror activities against IDF troops.

The military added that prior to the strike, it had taken steps to avoid harming civilians, including the use of precise ammunition and intelligence information. (Int’l News Desk)
