Later on Tuesday, the Israeli military revealed that an airstrike close to Beirut had weeks earlier killed Hashem Safiedine, the presumptive assassin of Hezbollah‘s recently assassinated leader. Since Israeli aircraft launched attacks at a meeting of top Hezbollah leaders in the early hours of October, there had been rife rumors about Safieddine’s probable death. Hezbollah‘s enclave known as the Dahiya was hit by one of the heaviest bombardments ever since an Israeli assault on September 27 killed Hezbollah key Hassan Nasrallah.
Safieddine, a niece of Nasrallah, was presumed to be at that meeting. Safieddine was killed in a hit that occurred about three weeks ago, according to the Israeli government on Tuesday. ” Throughout the ages, Safieddine directed terrorist strikes against the state of Israel and took part in Hezbollah’s decision-making methods”, the statement said, adding that more than 25 Hezbollah workers were present at the meeting where the defense struck and killed Safieddine. The defense did not offer any evidence to support its claim.
