A statement circulated on WhatsApp groups, attributed to Hezbollah, claimed that the former Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, is still alive. The statement alleged that he had suffered a serious health crisis recently and was transferred to Iran for necessary medical treatment.
Kashif verified the statement and found it to be fabricated. Kashif searched Hezbollah’s official website and the party’s official media accounts on Telegram and found no mention of such a statement. Furthermore, Hezbollah’s media had not, as of the time of this verification, published any details about Nasrallah’s survival but had previously announced his assassination.
Kashif also reviewed Lebanese media outlets such as Al-Mayadeen and Al-Manar and found no reports confirming the survival of former Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah.
Previously, on 1/10/2024, Kashif published a report verifying various claims about Nasrallah’s survival following the assassination attempt.
