Hezbollah Leadership in Disarray After Alleged Death of Nasrallah Successor
Israeli Defense Minister claims Haschim Safi al-Din, key Hezbollah figure, likely killed in recent attacks.
- Israeli officials assert that Haschim Safi al-Din, the expected successor to slain Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, is presumed dead.
- Defense Minister Joav Galant describes Hezbollah as leaderless, following the reported deaths of Nasrallah and his potential successors.
- Reports suggest a significant Israeli bombardment in Beirut targeted Hezbollah leadership, contributing to the group's operational setbacks.
- Al-Jazeera previously reported Hezbollah's loss of contact with Safi al-Din, though Hezbollah denies these claims.
- The situation is seen as a major strategic loss for Hezbollah's backers in Iran, according to Israeli officials.
