A source close to the Hezbollah organization, speaking to the Reuters news agency, announced that they could not reach Hašem Seyfettin, the most likely candidate to take over the Secretary-General position of Hezbollah after Hasan Nasrallah's death. A MAJOR ATTACK WAS CARRIED OUTThe Israeli army had struck Seyfettin's home in southern Beirut last Thursday, but they had not confirmed his death. Israeli media previously claimed that Hašem Seyfettin was injured as a result of the attack, citing Hezbollah's lack of a statement as evidence. "IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM TO HAVE SURVIVED THAT ATTACK"A Lebanese source speaking to Sky News Arabia claimed that it was "almost impossible" for Seyfettin to have survived the attack. The source stated that Seyfettin, who is believed to have been stationed in an underground bunker before the attack, would have had no chance of escaping from a bunker-busting missile. There has still been no official statement from Hezbollah. Hezbollah's silence is strengthening the perception among the Israeli public that Seyfettin is dead. NASSRALLAH HAD BEEN PREPARING FOR A LONG TIMESixty-year-old Seyfettin, who leads Hezbollah's governing board, is responsible for the organization's political affairs. He also has a say in the Jihad Council, which is responsible for the military affairs of the organization. It is known that Nasrallah has been preparing Seyfettin for the leadership position of Hezbollah for a long time. During his time working with Nasrallah, Seyfettin focused on the organization's training and bureaucratic matters. Throughout his career, he delegated military decisions to his cousin, Hasan Nasrallah. HIS BROTHER IS THE AMBASSADOR TO TEHRANSeyfettin, who received part of his religious education in Iran, supports the Iranian regime. His brother Abdullah serves as Hezbollah's ambassador to Tehran. Seyfettin, who was designated a 'terrorist' by the U.S. in 2017, is known for his ties to the Palestinian Hamas organization.
