MADRID 5 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Lebanese Shiite militia party Hezbollah has blamed Israel’s “psychological warfare” for reports of the alleged death of Hasan Nasrallah’s possible successor as leader of the group, Hashem Safiedin.
“We want to reiterate that Hezbollah has no ‘sources’ and that our position is expressed in official statements issued by the Hezbollah press office,” the group highlighted in reference to the information cited by sources from the organization.
Hezbollah thus maintains that there are media outlets that have published “false information” and “worthless rumors” about other senior Hezbollah officials. “It is part of the psychological war against those who support the resistance since they have dedicated their pens, languages and positions to the service of the Zionist occupation,” he emphasizes.
Hashem Safiedín, one of the great candidates for the leadership of Hezbollah after the death of its leader, Hasan Nasralá, cousin of Nasralá himself and, according to various information, had been untraceable since last Thursday, when there was an Israeli attack on Beirut.
Safiedin was born in 1964 in Deir Qanun in Nahr, near Tyre, southern Lebanon. He studied theology with Nasrallah in Najaf (Iraq) and Qom (Iran) and joined Hezbollah in its beginnings, also with Nasrallah.
Safiedín has a son, Redha, married to the daughter of Qasem Soleimani, a general of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard killed in 2020 in a US attack in Iraq. He is also a member of Hezbollah’s Shura Council and heads its Jihad Council, responsible for directing Hezbollah’s military activity.
