Hezbollah loses contact with Hashem Safieddine after Israeli airstrikes in Beirut

Hezbollah has reportedly lost all communication with Hashem Safieddine, the cousin and potential successor of former leader Hassan Nasrallah. This loss of contact comes just a week after Israeli forces killed Nasrallah in airstrikes targeting the group’s headquarters in southern Beirut.

Israel has focused on Safieddine, who was believed to be in Hezbollah’s underground facilities alongside the group’s intelligence chief. However, this has not been confirmed, and ongoing Israeli attacks are hindering Hezbollah members from accessing these locations.

Foreign media suggest that Israel may have successfully achieved its objective of neutralizing Safieddine, who was seen as a likely candidate to lead Hezbollah following Nasrallah’s death.

As the situation unfolds, developments are being closely monitored.
