Israel Kills Hashem Safieddine, Presumed Successor to Hezbollah Chief Nasrallah
ai generated text
Hashem Safieddine, the head of Hezbollah's Executive Council and the apparent successor of Hassan Nasrallah, was killed in a strike in Beirut in early October. The strike also resulted in the death of Ali Hussein Hazima, a Hezbollah leader.
I can confirm that an UNRWA car was hit. One UNRWA colleague was killed.
It can now be confirmed that in an attack approximately three weeks ago, Hashem Safieddine, the head of Hezbollah's Executive Council, and Ali Hussein Hazima, the head of Hezbollah's Intelligence Directorate, were killed along with other Hezbollah commanders.
Throughout the years, Safieddine directed terrorist attacks against the state of Israel and took part in Hezbollah's central decision-making processes.
We have reached Nasrallah, his replacement and most of Hezbollah's senior leadership.
We mourn...the head of the Executive Council of Hezbollah, his eminence the scholar Sayyed Hashem Safieddine.
In our resistance, when any leader is martyred, another takes up the flag and goes on with new, certain, strong determination.
We have not seen evidence of that at this moment. But, you know, we will continue to collaborate with our Israeli counterparts to gain better fidelity on exactly what they are looking at.
The United States' stance with Israel following our attack on Iran will strengthen regional deterrence and weaken the axis of evil.
The Israeli government is not above the law and must stop acting otherwise.
Steadfast Christian families such as the Kisiya family, whose ancestral land has been forcibly stolen from them, remain especially in my prayers.
