The IDF announced late Tuesday night that Hashem Saffieddin, a potential successor to slain Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, was killed in an airstrike carried out by the Israeli Air Force three weeks ago.
The IAF jets “conducted a precise intelligence-based attack on Hezbollah’s main intelligence headquarters, which was deliberately set up in a civilian basement in Dahiyeh,” the IDF confirmed.
The airstrike killed 25 Hezbollah terrorists, including Saffieddin and Hezbollah intelligence commander Ali Hussein Hajma.
Saffieddin was a cousin of Nasrallah, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike last month.
The IDF said Mr. Saffieddin frequently served as Hezbollah’s acting secretary general while Mr. Nasrallah was outside Lebanon.
