Breaking: Lebanon says Hezbollah has lost contact with chairman of executive council, Safieddine

Lebanese security source has told Al Jazeera that Hezbollah has lost contact with the chairman of its executive council, Hashem Safieddine, since last Friday

The source said Safieddine was in an underground headquarters when he was targeted by an Israeli air strike in the area of Marijah.

Safieddine is said to be the likely successor to the slain Hezbollah Secretary General, Hassan Nasrallah.

There’s likelihood that he might have been a victim of Israeli attack on the underground office where he was reportedly holding a meeting on Friday.
