The Israeli military confirmed Tuesday (October 22) that it had killed Hashem Safieddine, the head of Hezbollah’s Executive Council and a key figure poised to succeed leader Hassan Nasrallah, in an airstrike in a southern Beirut suburb.
The strike, which took place three weeks ago, also claimed the life of Ali Hussein Hazima, Hezbollah’s Intelligence Directorate head, and other top commanders.
Hezbollah has not yet issued a formal statement regarding the deaths.
