Israel mobilises more troops as it claims to have killed Hassan Nasrallah [Video]

Israel’s claim to have killed Nasrallah came after sources close to Hezbollah had told Reuters that he was alive. Iran’s Tasnim news agency also reported he was safe.

The Israeli military had already claimed to have killed Muhammad Ali Ismail, the commander of Hezbollah’s missile unit, and his deputy Hossein Ahmed Ismail.

At the United Nations, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to “continue degrading Hezbollah” until Israel achieved its goals. His comments dampened hopes for a US and Australia-backed call for a 21-day truce to allow time for a diplomatic solution. Hezbollah has not responded to the proposal.

“As long as Hezbollah chooses the path of war, Israel has no choice, and Israel has every right to remove this threat and return our citizens to their homes safely,” he said.

Several delegations walked out as Netanyahu approached the lectern.
