Hezbollah's Safieddine 'unreachable' since Friday, source says

Israeli air strikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs since Friday have kept rescue workers from searching the site of an Israeli strike suspected to have killed Hezbollah’s anticipated next leader, three Lebanese security sources told Reuters on Saturday.

One of the sources said Hashem Safieddine, widely expected to succeed slain leader Hassan Nasrallah, has been unreachable since the strike on Friday.
