The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced on Tuesday afternoon that they killed H. Safieddine, a possible successor to Nasrallah in Hezbollah’s leadership, in an attack earlier this month in southern Beirut.
This is the first time Israel has confirmed the killing of the highest-ranking political official in Hezbollah since former Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah. Hezbollah has not yet commented on Israel’s claim.
His fate remained unknown after the Israeli strikes in Dahieh on October 3, which, according to Israel, targeted an underground shelter where the senior leader was living.
A UN report states that if the war were to end tomorrow, it would take 350 years to rebuild Gaza if it remains under blockade.
Yesterday, 13 people were killed, including 1 child, and 57 were injured from new Israeli bombings near a hospital in southern Beirut. A total of 1,489 people have been killed in the past month due to Israeli attacks in Lebanon.
Israel had issued evacuation warnings shortly before targeting the southern suburbs of Beirut with intense strikes. However, there was no warning for the area around Rafik Hariri Hospital, which is densely populated.
According to the UN, approximately 405,000 people, both Syrians and Lebanese, have crossed from Lebanon into Syria, where the civil war continues, with 60% being under the age of 18.
