"Remove Hezbollah Heirs"...Netanyahu announces Safiedin death

Hashim Safiedin, who was mentioned as the next head of the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, has died, local media reported.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced in person on the evening of the 8th local time, saying, "We have eliminated thousands of terrorists, including Hezbollah Nasrallah's successor."

"Hezbollah has recently become the weakest," he said. "I hope the Lebanese people will get out of Hezbollah and end the war."

Netanyahu said Lebanon has now become a place of chaos and war because of the ruination of a group of terrorists, stressing that the country must be saved before it falls into pain like Gaza.

Earlier, Minister Yoav Galant also visited the Israeli military's Northern Command and said Hezbollah is a leaderless organization, adding that successors appear to have been removed following Nasrallah.

"A year after the war, Hamas was disbanded, and Hezbollah became an injured organization," Galant said. "If the smoke clears in Lebanon, Iran will realize that it has lost its biggest asset."

Israeli forces, which are on the offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon, killed Hezbollah head Hasan Nasrallah on the 27th of last month in a targeted airstrike in the Dahiye area outside the Lebanese capital Beirut.

Since then, it has been reported that Safiedin, Nasrallah's cousin and Hezbollah's executive chairman, has lost contact with him since further Israeli airstrikes on the 3rd.

So far, Hezbollah has not specifically mentioned the life and death of Safiedin.

Safiedin, one of Hezbollah's leaders, is known to be close to Iran, which leads the axis of resistance, an anti-American and anti-Israel alliance in the Middle East, including Hezbollah.
