Hezbollah's Hassan Nasrallah was in a bunker in the southern suburb of Dahiyeh when it was hit by Israeli bombs last week.
Former Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah had agreed to a ceasefire with Israel shortly before he was killed in an Israeli air strike in Beirut last week, Lebanon Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib said today. Speaking to an American public broadcaster, Bouhabib said that they also informed the US and French representatives about the ceasefire decision.
Hassan Nasrallah was in a bunker in the southern suburb of Dahiyeh when it was hit by Israeli bombs on September 27. While Hezbollah's statement on Saturday confirming Nasrallah's death did not say how exactly he was killed, Reuters said his body had no direct wounds and that it appeared the cause of death was blunt trauma from the force of the blast.
"He (Nasrallah) agreed, he agreed (to the ceasefire)," Bouhabib told PBS.
