The body of Hezbollah’s Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah has been recovered from the 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.

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.
