Quoting a government official, the Israeli English daily said it was very hard to imagine Nasrallah surviving a strike of such magnitude.
Israeli officials had suspected that Nasrallah was in the bunker that was hit by the IAF, and they believed anyone inside would hardly survive.
The IDF has now officially confirmed that Hassan Nasrallah was killed in the airstrike.
Additionally, the strikes also reportedly claimed the life of Nasrallah’s daughter, Zainab. Another Israeli media outlet reported that Zainab was among the dead in the airstrikes targeting her father.
Hezbollah is yet to confirm or deny the reports of its leader’s death.
