The Israeli military reported that it killed Hashem Safieddine, presumed successor to Hezbollah's leader, in an airstrike near Beirut, signifying strategic impacts on the group.
Speculation regarding Safieddine's death followed one of the most intense bombings in the Dahiya area, a Hezbollah stronghold, since the assassination of Hassan Nasrallah.
The Israeli military indicated that Safieddine had a prominent role within Hezbollah, conducting attacks against Israel and influencing group decisions during Nasrallah's absence.
Despite the claim of Safieddine's death and the involvement of numerous senior operatives at the targeted meeting, Hezbollah has remained largely silent on the incident.
