An Israeli security source confirmed to Saudi media that Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah’s successor, Hashem Safieddine, was eliminated in a Friday night strike.
According to another Saudi news outlet, commanders from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard were eliminated together with Safieddine. On Friday, Israel estimated that Safieddine was injured in the strike since those who were with him in the underground area that was struck could not have escaped the site alive.
In addition, it is estimated that alongside Safieddine, senior Hezbollah intelligence officials were also present at the site and were also injured. Safieddine, 60, is a cousin of Nasrallah and last month was appointed his successor.
Before his appointment, Safieddine served as the head of Hezbollah’s Executive Council. He is Nasrallah’s cousin from his mother’s side. His brother, Abdullah, is Hezbollah’s envoy to Iran. In addition, Safieddine is one of six clerics currently serving on Hezbollah’s Shura Council. (INN / VFI News)
