Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah's daughter killed in Beirut airstrike

Zainab has been vocal in proclaiming her support for Hezbollah and her family's sacrifices.

The daughter of Hezbollah secretary general Hassan Nasrallah was killed in the massive Israeli airstrike in Lebanon's Beirut, Channel 12 reported. However, there has been no official confirmation either by Israel or Lebanon of the death of Zainab Nasrallah.

Zainab has been vocal in proclaiming her support for Hezbollah and her family's sacrifices. She had spoken publicly about the killing of her brother by Israeli forces in 1997 and pointed out that her family chose to honour his sacrifice rather than mourn.

On Saturday, the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) said the strikes had killed the commander of Hezbollah's missile unit, Muhammad Ali Ismail, and his deputy, Hossein Ahmed Ismail.

Lebanese health authorities confirmed six dead and 91 wounded in Israel's initial attack. However, the death toll is likely to rise as rescue teams dig through rubble.
