An Israeli airstrike on Thursday targeted Hezbollah's intelligence headquarters in Beirut, Lebanon. The attack was reportedly aimed at Hashem Saffiedine, a senior official of the militant group and potential successor to its late leader Hassan Nasrallah. However, several news agencies have not been able to confirm these reports or determine whether Saffiedine survived the strike. This comes amidst a series of Israeli strikes against Hezbollah "terror targets," following escalating tensions between the Iran-backed group and Israel's military forces.
