Hezbollah Leader Hashem Safi al-Din Confirmed Alive Amid Israeli Operation

A Hezbollah source has confirmed that the group’s prominent ⁤leader Hashem Safi al-Din is alive following ‌an intense Israeli operation in the southern suburbs of ⁢Beirut ‌on ‍Friday evening.

These statements come amid reports that Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah may have been injured or killed‍ in ⁣the attack, which was described as ‌”violent and⁢ unprecedented”.

Israeli ‌Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has decided to‌ cut his ‍trip to New York short and return‌ to Tel Aviv this evening due to the serious developments in the southern⁤ suburbs.

The decision follows raids targeting Hezbollah sites, with conflicting‌ reports emerging about Hassan ⁤Nasrallah’s fate.

A senior Iranian security official has stated⁣ that Tehran is verifying ⁢Nasrallah’s condition, while Iran’s ⁤Tasnim agency has confirmed‌ that Nasrallah is ‍fine, ⁢without providing further details.

Hebrew Channel 13 has ‌reported that Nasrallah was in the target area⁤ at the time of the bombing, and his fate ‌remains unclear. Intelligence ⁤sources cited by the newspaper “Maariv” suggest that Nasrallah may be wounded, while the Hebrew Broadcasting Corporation has indicated ⁤that Israel targeted a ​”tunnel” ⁢in the southern suburbs that Nasrallah may have been inside.

Israeli ⁤fighters launched an intensive offensive into the southern suburbs, firing 10 missiles into the Haret Harik area, causing widespread chaos and destruction.

The Israeli military has described the ⁢raids ‌as targeting ⁣Hezbollah’s central command headquarters, allegedly located beneath​ residential buildings.
