Hashem Safieddine, a cousin of slain Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, is one of the few remaining senior Hezbollah officials who was not present at the Hezbollah headquarters in Beirut during the IDF’s strike on Friday.
Safieddine, who has long been considered a potential successor to Nasrallah, may soon be appointed as Hezbollah’s new secretary-general.
Safieddine is the head of Hezbollah’s executive council and is part of the Jihad Council.
In 2017, the US State Department added Safieddine to its terror blacklist.

“HASHEM”!? I guess we can rely on the Sotah heter allowing us to wipe out Hashem’s name for the sake of peace…
It’s gonna be very difficult to start saying Hashem yemach shemo
Good one please and thank you!
והיה ביום ההוא יהיה ה אחד ושמו אחד!
Hope not. We thank Hashem (no pun) or the elimination of his evil predecessors who terrorized us.
