Hezbollah loses contact with Hashem Safieddine after Israeli strike on southern suburb

The bombing targeted Hezbollah's media relations office in Haret Hreik, in the southern suburbs of Beirut.

The name of Hashem Safieddine, born in 1964, has recently been mentioned as a possible successor to Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, who was assassinated by Israel on September 27.

Since September 23, Israel has been launching bloody raids on Lebanon, resulting in the deaths of about two thousand people, thousands of injuries, and the displacement of hundreds of thousands.

Later, Israel invaded southern Lebanon by land, where it faced fierce resistance from Hezbollah fighters.

In addition to confronting the ground incursion, Hezbollah continues to fire rockets at an increasing rate at settlements in northern Israel.
