The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced that Hashem Safieddine, poised to become the new head of Hezbollah following Hassan Nasrallah’s death, was killed in an Israeli airstrike on October 4, 2024. The strike targeted Hezbollah’s underground intelligence headquarters in Beirut, resulting in the deaths of Safieddine and several top commanders.
While Hezbollah has yet to confirm Safieddine’s death, the IDF asserts they have verified it. This development heightens concerns about the already volatile situation, with potential repercussions for regional stability and the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.
