France's foreign ministry said on Saturday that according to its information Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was indeed dead, after Israel said it had killed him a day earlier.
The Iran-backed terrorist organization Hezbollah has yet to issue any statement on the status of Nasrallah, its leader for the past 32 years, and co-founder almost 42 years ago.
"According to the information we have, Hassan Nasrallah, secretary general of Hezbollah, would indeed have died," the French foreign ministry said in a statement.
