Israeli Strikes Target Hezbollah Leadership in Beirut
News summary

Israeli airstrikes on Beirut's southern suburbs have reportedly targeted Hashem Safieddine, a senior Hezbollah figure and potential successor to the slain leader Hassan Nasrallah, leaving him unreachable, according to multiple Lebanese security sources. The strikes, which began late Thursday and intensified over the weekend, have hindered rescue operations in the area due to ongoing military activity. Israeli officials confirm the airstrikes aimed at Hezbollah's central intelligence headquarters in Dahieh but have not disclosed the outcome regarding Safieddine's status. Hezbollah has not yet officially responded to these developments. The loss of contact with Safieddine, who is seen as a key figure in Hezbollah's leadership, represents a significant impact on the group and its regional patron, Iran. This escalation follows the recent killing of Nasrallah, marking a continued Israeli campaign against the Iran-backed group.
