Israel confirmed the killing of Hezbollah's Executive Council head, Hashem Safieddine, in a targeted airstrike in Beirut. Safieddine, considered a likely successor to slain leader Hassan Nasrallah, was eliminated along with other Hezbollah commanders, including Ali Hussein Hazima, in a strike three weeks ago. The Israeli Defense Forces stated the attack aimed to neutralize Hezbollah's leadership, as the conflict escalated. The Israeli air force has ramped up strikes against Hezbollah's assets in Lebanon, with 1,552 people reportedly killed since September 23, according to Lebanese health officials.
