Israel's newly appointed minister of defense made a bold statement on Sunday, asserting that his country has successfully defeated Hezbollah, the Lebanese terrorist organization. The minister highlighted the elimination of Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, as a significant achievement. Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli airstrike on September 27, targeting the group's headquarters in southern Beirut.
Furthermore, the Israeli military announced the elimination of Hashem Safieddine, a key figure expected to assume leadership of Hezbollah after Nasrallah's demise. The defense minister, Israel Katz, emphasized the need to maintain pressure to solidify the victory.
