A medical and security source told Reuters, on Sunday, that the body of the Secretary-General of the Lebanese Hezbollah group, Hassan Nasrallah, had been recovered from the site of the Israeli air attack on the southern suburbs of Beirut, and that it was “intact.”

Hezbollah's statement confirming Nasrallah's death on Saturday did not mention how he was killed or the date of his funeral, but the two sources said that his body had no direct wounds and the cause of death appeared to be blunt trauma from the force of the explosion.

Hezbollah confirmed that Nasrallah was killed, more than three decades after he assumed the General Secretariat, in an Israeli raid on Haret Hreik in the southern suburb of Beirut, on Friday.

The party did not announce the names of those who were killed with it in the raid on Haret Hreik, which left at least six people dead, according to the authorities, and led to the collapse of seven buildings, according to the party’s Al-Manar channel.

But Israel confirmed the killing of Ali Karaki, whom it described as the commander of operations on the southern front, in the operation it called “New Order.”

 A source close to the party confirmed to Agence France-Presse that Karki had been killed.

The Iranian "IRNA" news agency also confirmed that the Deputy Commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Abbas Nilforoushan, was killed in the raid.

Hassan Nasrallah (64 years old) assumed the General Secretariat of Hezbollah in 1992 after Israel assassinated his predecessor, Abbas al-Musawi. Under his leadership, the party developed its military capabilities with the main support of Tehran, which supplies it with money and weapons. The number of its members also increased to reach, according to him, about 100,000 fighters.
