Israeli Forces Eliminated Nasrallah's Successors Degrading Hezbollah's Capabilities: Netanyahu

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday announced that the Israeli forces have eliminated key figures in Hezbollah's leadership succession, further degrading the capabilities of the group. In a pre-recorded video message, Netanyahu said, "We've degraded Hezbollah's capabilities. We took out thousands of terrorists, including Nasrallah himself, his successor, and even the successor's replacement."

Benjamin Netanyahu , however, did not reveal any specific names.

Earlier, Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant suggested that Hashem Safieddine, the likely successor to the late Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah, had likely been "killed." It remains unclear who Netanyahu referred to as the "replacement of the replacement," a foreign news agency reported.
