Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah, was suffocated to death after toxic fumes leaked into his secret bunker following Israel’s massive airstrike on the militant group’s headquarters in Beirut on September 27, according to an Israeli media outlet.
According to Israel’s Channel 12, Nasrallah, 64, died after toxic gases entered his secret bunker after it was destroyed by 80 tons of “bunker-busting” bombs launched by the Israeli military.
Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah’s leader for 32 years, was killed in IDF air strikes on the Iranian-backed group’s central headquarters in Beirut. Israeli Air Force (IAF) fighter jets carried out the strike on the group’s Central Headquarters, which is reportedly located underground beneath a residential building in Dahieh.
How Did Hezbollah’s Chief Hassan Nasrallah Die?
According to reports, Nasrallah’s body was discovered by officials with no visible wounds, implying that he was buried under rubble while gas from explosions filled his bunker.
According to the report, the Hezbollah chief’s death could have been caused by asphyxiation rather than the initial blast.
The security personnel who recovered Nasrallah’s body stated that he was most likely killed by blunt trauma caused by the explosions. The bombs struck as he was preparing for a meeting with Hezbollah leadership.
However, the Lebanese militant group has yet to comment on what happened during the Beirut airstrike that killed its chief.
