Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu announced that Israeli forces have successfully targeted and eliminated potential successors to the deceased Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. Defence minister Yoav Gallant also indicated that Hashem Safieddine, a likely successor, had likely been ‘eliminated’. Safieddine, like Nasrallah, is a cleric and has served as the head of Hezbollah’s executive council and its military operations body, the Jihad Council.
