**Beirut, Lebanon:** Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah is alive and well, according to a source close to the leader, who refuted reports that Nasrallah was the target of an Israeli airstrike on Friday. The strike destroyed the Hezbollah headquarters in Beirut, raising speculation about Nasrallah’s fate, as he was believed to have been in the building during the attack.
An Israeli official had cast doubt on Nasrallah’s survival, stating it was “hard to believe he got out of it alive.” The strike was reportedly authorized by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu before his address at the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
Nasrallah, the Hezbollah chief since 1992, has been known for his tight security measures, keeping his whereabouts secret. His speeches have been broadcast from undisclosed locations for the past two decades, further adding to the mystery surrounding his movements.
Despite the secrecy, Nasrallah has previously reassured the public that he remains active, stating, “The point of security measures is that movement be kept secret, but that doesn’t stop me from moving around and seeing what is happening.”
This latest incident marks another escalation in the long-standing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, with the airstrike serving as a significant blow to the Lebanese militia group.
