Israeli military operations against Hezbollah continue. Several Hezbollah commanders were killed in Israeli military operations. Hashem Safieddin was allegedly killed in an Israeli bombing raid on Lebanon on Friday. Hashim Safieddin is considered the successor to Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah.
It is understood that Safiedine was holding a secret meeting in the bunker when Israel bombed Beirut. Earlier on September 27, Hassan Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli bombing. Safieddin and Nasrallah are cousins. After Nasrallah’s death, Safiedine is almost certain to become Hezbollah leader. But before this could be announced, Israel killed him.
Many of Hezbollah’s top commanders have been killed in Israeli attacks so far. Meanwhile, Israeli Army Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Haji Halevi said no Hezbollah commander would be spared. We kill them selectively.
Lieutenant General Haji Halevi made it clear that Israel’s actions against Hezbollah will be further intensified. Israel considers Hezbollah a terrorist organization. Hezbollah supports Hamas in Gaza. Hezbollah supports Hamas in the war that began on October 7 last year.
However, Hezbollah, once the most powerful organization in Lebanon, is now in decline. In recent months, Hezbollah has lost most of its decades-old commanders.
Everyone was killed?
