Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has demanded the killing of Hassan Nasrallah, head of the Lebanese-based armed group Hezbollah, on September 27.
Hashem Safiddin was being discussed as the next head of Hezbollah after Hassan Nasrullah. Israel claimed that he was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut last Thursday. Netanyahu claimed that anyone who was rumored to be Hashem’s successor had also been killed. But he did not tell what his name is.
