The target of the heavy Israeli airstrike in Beirut is reported to be Hashem Safieddine.
Safieddine, the head of Hezbollah’s executive council, is presumed to be the successor of Hassan Nasrallah following his assassination last week.
Axios reporter Barak Ravid cites two Israeli sources as saying Safieddine was the target.
The IDF has not yet commented on the strike.
