Is Nasrallah Dead Yet? Live-ish updates until I get bored [Updated 04:20 EST] IDF ANNOUNCES "WE GOT HIM"

Current Nasrallah news below. I'll be avoiding fluff news like retaliatory missile attacks and other happenings and just focus on the dead or alive status and related rumours or statements.

What Happened? Israel blows up some building in Beirut in an attack supposedly targeting Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah's very elusive big bad leader.

(this is somehow the best available footage lmao)

Latest:

IDF officially announced Hassan Nasrallah is kill Times of Israel

No body yet. No Hezbollah statement yet. I still consider this unconfirmed but it's extremely unlikely for the IDF to announce this without knowing for sure especially considering how long it's taken to do so.

More:

(in reverse chronology)

New York Times reports that Iranian officials expressed concern that the absence of a statement from Hezbollah on Mr. Nasrallah's status portended bad news and that "The cellphones of Iranian officials across the country beeped with text messages and phone calls asking variations of the same question: Any news from Sayyed? It was a reference to Mr. Nasrallah by his nickname and religious title." NYT

Iranian foreign minister says at UN meeting "the Israeli regime used several 5,000-pound bunker busters that had been gifted to them by the United States to hit residential areas in Beirut" Timers of Israel

(Curious that they are specifically saying bunker busters when this information would be impossible for them to confirm. It's as if the target was in a particularly protected area and that area was penetrated successfully?)

IDF says they are still investigating the results of the "very accurate" strike. Guardian

Hezbollah Health ministry says at least 6 are confirmed dead. No names given. Guardian

It's been hours since the strike and Hezbollah has made no official statement. Only info we have is from unnamed sources at low levels or outside but close to Hezbollah. Top leadership appears to be radio silent and unreachable according to sources close to Hezbollah. Times of Israel

Guardian reports sources close to Hezbollah say Nasrallah is "alive and well" Guardian

Iranian leaders are seething with Pezeshkian saying the attack is an "open and fragrant war crime that once again revealed the nature of state terrorism of this regime." Times of Israel

Ali Larijani, an adviser to Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei, tells Iranian state television that "any leader of the resistance will be replaced". - When asked what leaders he was speaking about Larijani looked panicked and changed the subject Times of Israel

Random unnamed Israeli official says "It's very hard to imagine him coming out alive from a strike like that" Times of Israel

Amos Yadlin former head of IDF intelligence says that his sources, which he does not name, are adamant that Nasrallah "is no longer with us." Times of Israel

Sources in Hezbollah claim Nasrallah is "fine".

Thanks for sharing a link with us. :marseysmughipskorean:

CNN reported they were going after anti-ship missiles stored underground in Beirut but I haven't actually seen it. I'm a bit skeptical that they would store a lot of stuff in Beirut because there's only 3 ways out of the city and they're probably relatively easy to block.

Okay that looks really darning. But consider this: Maybe Hezbollah was just storing a lot of rocket fuel there for their space program, which they had been keeping secret because Nasrallah loves surprises. :marseyshrug:
