Story by Alex Shipman • 14h
Hezbollah's presumed new leader Hashem Safieddine has been confirmed dead by the Israeli military - just days after taking over from his cousin, who was killed in an airstrike last month.
Safieddine, who served as head of Hezbollah's executive council, is believed to have been killed along with the head of Hezbollah's intelligence division and 25 other members.
His predecessor, Hassan Nasrallah, led the terror group for three decades before being killed in an Israeli air raid on its headquarters in southern Beirut on September 27.
Earlier this month, Daily Express US reported that a bunker Safieddine is believed to have been in had been targeted by Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
Officials have now confirmed his death. IDF spokesperson Avichay Adraee said he had been "eliminated" in a statement.
