Israeli military says strikes in Beirut earlier this month killed Hashem Safieddine
Israel confirms killing of Hashem Safieddine, presumed next leader of Hezbollah
Israel said on Tuesday a strike it carried out in Beirut three weeks ago killed Hashem Safieddine, the presumed successor to late Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, who was also killed in an Israeli attack last month.
Safieddine was the head of Hezbollah’s highest political decision-making body, the executive council, and was also a cousin of the former secretary general.
