Israel does not have confirmation that the potential successor to the slain Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has died, a government spokesperson said following reports that he was targeted in an Israeli air strike last week, Reuters reports.
Asked if Israel could confirm the death of Hashem Safieddine, spokesperson David Mencer told an online briefing: “We don’t have that confirmation yet. When it is confirmed, as and when, it will be on the IDF (Israeli military) website.”
