STORYLINE:
Israel’s military said Tuesday that a top Hezbollah official who had been widely expected to be the group’s next leader was killed in an Israeli airstrike in southern Beirut in early October.

There was no immediate confirmation from the militant group about the fate of Hashem Safieddine.

Safieddine, a powerful cleric within the party ranks, was expected to succeed Hassan Nasrallah, one of the group’s founders, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike in September.

Israel said Safieddine was killed in Israeli airstrikes in early October in a southern suburb of Beirut. Around 25 other Hezbollah leaders were killed during the airstrike.

Over the past months, Israeli strikes have killed much of Hezbollah’s top leadership, leaving the group in disarray.
