Hezbollah says body of leader Nasrallah has been found

“His body was found on Saturday and was placed in a shroud on Sunday after being washed,” the source said, adding: “His funeral and burial have not yet been arranged.”

Before his death on Friday when Israeli warplanes struck Hezbollah headquarters south of the Lebanese capital, Nasrallah was considered the country’s most powerful man. For more than three decades, he led the movement and was seen as Israel’s biggest opponent.

Friday's airstrike also killed Ali Karake, the group's top commander in southern Lebanon, Hezbollah said on Sunday.

The report did not name others who died alongside Nasrallah and Karake. However, the Israeli military said on Sunday that “more than 20 other terrorists of various ranks” were also killed in the attack.

Lebanese authorities put the provisional death toll at six, but given the scale of the destruction, the death toll could be higher.

Beirut’s southern suburbs, as well as southern and eastern Lebanon, have been hit by heavy Israeli shelling since last Monday. Lebanon’s health ministry reports at least 1,000 people have been killed and millions have been forced to flee their homes.
