On the 15th local time, the Israel Defense Forces released an image showing that all but two members of the senior military leadership of Hezbollah have been confirmed to have been killed. The two were Hashim Safidin and another Hezbollah intelligence officer. Hashim Safidin is widely regarded by many media as the successor to the late Lebanese Hezbollah leader Nasrallah and Nasrallah's cousin. Hashim Safidin disappeared during an Israeli air strike on the southern suburbs of Beirut on the 3rd of this month. Hezbollah officials in Lebanon said on the 6th of this month that Safidin's life is still “uncertain.” The Deputy Secretary General of Hezbollah, Naim Qasim, said in a video statement on the 8th of this month that the Hezbollah leadership is still directing the fighting, that those Hezbollah commanders killed by Israel have all succeeded, and that Hezbollah in Lebanon “has no vacant positions.”
