Nasrallah killed in Israeli attack, now who will take command of Hezbollah?

The Israeli army has claimed that Hezbollah Chief Hassan Nasrallah has been killed in the attacks carried out in Beirut on Friday. According to the information, apart from Nasrallah, his daughter Zainab was also killed in this attack. According to a picture released by the Israeli army, the top leadership of Hezbollah has been completely destroyed. In such a situation, the question arises that who will take command of this Iran-backed organization?

Has Nasrallah’s death created a leadership crisis in Hezbollah? Or is it to be believed that this time Israel has completely destroyed its enemy present in Lebanon? And if it is not so, then who will take charge of Hezbollah because till now Nasrallah was the biggest face of Hezbollah. He was commanding Hezbollah for 32 years.

Who will be Nasrallah’s successor?

According to media reports, the process of selecting leaders in groups like Hezbollah is often secret. Philip Smith, an expert on Shia rebel organizations, says any new leader must be acceptable to those within the organization in Lebanon, as well as its supporters in Iran. However, there is one name which is emerging as the new Hezbollah Chief, that is Hashem Safieddine. A source close to Hezbollah said Hashem Saffieddine, considered Nasrallah’s successor, had managed to survive Friday’s attack.

On Friday, about an hour after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech in the United Nations General Assembly, a massive attack took place in Lebanon, in which the Israeli Army has claimed that Hezbollah Chief was killed. According to Israel, Nasrallah was present in Hezbollah’s headquarters and during that time he fired about 60 missiles and destroyed the enemy.
