Former Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah spent his final days in a bunker built with Iranian technology, the IDF Intelligence Directorate revealed on Saturday.

 The terror chief was killed in an Israeli strike after the infamous beeper operation and the killing of Hezbollah official Ibrahim Aqil.

Nasrallah remained in place and attempted to plan counterattacks and rebuild the terror organization's capabilities from the bunker, according to the directorate. Nasrallah was also reportedly unaware that he was the next target of an Israeli strike.

Using the intelligence gathered over the years, the Intelligence Directorate was able to accurately pinpoint the location of the bunker.

The operation that killed the Hezbollah leader saw the IAF strike the bunker with 83 bombs simultaneously, which killed Nasrallah as well as Hezbollah's Southern Front Commander Ali Karaki, alongside several other Hezbollah officials.

"We will reach them all, continue with the same professionalism, maintain the same composure, we are on the right path," said IAF Commander Tomer Bar.

Shortly before the Intelligence Directorate's Saturday announcement detailing the Nasrallah assassination, IDF drones were cited circling in the skies above Beirut and its suburb of Dahieh during Nasrallah's one-year memorial ceremony, Israeli state broadcaster KAN reported, citing local media.
