IDF confirmed the elimination of Hashem Safieddine, Hezbollah's likely successor to Hassan Nasrallah, in a strike on southern Beirut three weeks ago.
The operation also killed Ali Hussein Hazima, Hezbollah's Intelligence Director, and over 25 militants at their intelligence headquarters in Dahiyeh.
Safieddine, a religious cleric in his late 50s and Nasrallah's distant relative, had strong ties with Iran.
