The Israeli military has confirmed that it has killed Hashem Safieddine, the presumed successor to Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in an air strike on southern Beirut’s Dahieh suburb earlier this month. Nasrallah was assassinated last month in an Israeli air strike on a residential neighbourhood.
Born in 1964 in southern Lebanon, Safieddine was a founding member of Hezbollah and headed its highest political decision-making body, the executive council. He had spent considerable time in the Iranian religious city of Qom and managed Hezbollah’s extensive business interests.
