A senior Hezbollah security official says the Israeli airstrike that killed Hassan Nasrallah happened while he was inside the militant group’s war operations room.

All necessary arrangements were agreed, including the formation of a joint operations room to ensure compliance, that would include Egyptian, Qatari, US, Palestinian and Israeli representatives, the official said.

"There is an operations room that has multiple factions of different political stripes - some are secular, some are conservative - but they agree on one thing. They are going to liberate Syria from al-Qaeda, Isis, Iran, Russia, and they will allow people to have their country back," he told the BBC.
