Israel managed to pinpoint Nasrallah’s location after a man met him and smeared his hands with a substance after shaking his hands.

The substance allowed Israel to track him to the high-level meeting which took place at Hezbollah’s main headquarters, after which he died along with several other top Hezbollah leaders. The meeting was in a bunker beneath a building.

The report by Hebrew newspaper Maariv added that it took two minutes to confirm his presence at the meeting; after which the Israeli Air Force planes decimated the headquarters.

Eight Israeli fighter jets conducted the strike and at least 15 2,000-pound bunker-buster precision guided bombs were used. The heat was so intense that it melted the gold bars stored in the bunker. Claims were made to have found nasrallah but that was symbolic so a "funeral" could be held.
