Tire (Lebanon): After killing Hezbollah chief Nasrallah, the Israeli army also killed new Hezbollah chief Hashim Saffieddin in an airstrike a few days later. Hasif Saffieddin was reported missing since he became head of Hezbollah. He was not in contact with anyone. The Israeli army had expressed fear of killing him in an airstrike. But Hezbollah has not confirmed this until now. Now, after almost three weeks, Hezbollah has also confirmed the murder of Hashim Safidin.
Hezbollah announced Wednesday that one of its top members, Hashim Saffieddin, was killed in an Israeli airstrike. Hashim Saifieddin was a strong possibility to replace the organization’s head, Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike last month. The announcement came a day after Israel said Saffieddin was killed in one of its attacks in Beirut’s southern suburbs earlier this month. Several senior members of Hezbollah have been killed in Israeli attacks in recent weeks. (AP)
