Safieddine, who be Nasrallah’s cousin, dey play significant role for Hezbollah. Him be de head of Hezbollah’s executive council and dey oversee de group’s financial and administrative affairs. Him also dey lead de group’s intelligence division and dey direct terrorist activities against Israel.
De Israeli strike wey kill Safieddine happen about three weeks ago in de Dahiyeh area of southern Beirut. Israel say dem target underground bunker where Safieddine dey stay, and since den, Hezbollah no fit re-establish communication with am.
