Sources from "Al-Arabiya" and "Al-Hadath" confirmed on Sunday that Hezbollah's Shura Council chose Hashem Safieddine as Secretary-General. The Israeli army had announced the killing of more than 20 leaders in the raid that targeted Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah in the strike on the party's command headquarters in the southern suburb of Beirut on Friday. Hashem Safieddine was the head of Hezbollah's Executive Council and its second-in-command. He appeared as the most prominent candidate to succeed Nasrallah, as he is his cousin and the son-in-law of the former commander of the Iranian Quds Force, Qassem Soleimani. In addition to the fact that he looks and speaks very similarly to Nasrallah. Source: National Iraqi News Agency
