Israeli airstrikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs have kept rescue workers from searching the site of an Israeli strike suspected to have killed Hezbollah’s anticipated next leader, three Lebanese security sources tell Reuters.
One of the sources says Hashem Safieddine, widely expected to succeed slain terror leader Hassan Nasrallah, has been “unreachable” since the strike targeting an underground bunker in the Lebanese capital.
The IDF said Friday morning that the airstrike in Beirut targeted Hezbollah’s intelligence headquarters. The military did not disclose who was at the underground bunker.
There was no immediate reaction from Hezbollah.
