Hashem Safieddine, rumored successor to Hezbollah’s leader, has been missing since Friday after Israeli airstrikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs. The strikes, targeting an underground bunker, were part of Israel's ongoing campaign against Hezbollah. Lebanese security sources say continued bombings have prevented rescue efforts in the area. Israel's military confirmed the strikes hit Hezbollah’s intelligence headquarters. This comes after weeks of intensified conflict, with Israel targeting Hezbollah’s leadership and expanding its operations across Lebanon, including Tripoli. Hezbollah has yet to comment on Safieddine's status. The violence has displaced millions and caused significant casualties.
