Mystery over elusive Hezbollah chief targeted in Israeli assassination after deadliest blitz on Beirut kills at least 22
ISRAEL launched its deadliest air raids of the war – but it could have missed a terror chief it was hunting.
Huge blasts struck two separate Beirut blocks in neighbourhoods in the Lebanese capital previously untouched by the bloody year-long conflict.

But Wafiq Safa – Hezbollah’s slippery Liaison and Coordination Unit chief – could have eluded one of the attacks focused on a third-floor city centre apartment.
The strike came as troops continued to raid villages in southern Lebanon and as Hezbollah launched dozens of rockets across the border into Israeli cities and towns.
It can mark a rare failure for Israel Defence Forces and its Mossad and Shin Bet intelligence agents after a stunning run of assassinations of scores of terror group commanders.
Safa’s whereabouts and conditions remain a mystery as outlets including Sky Arabia report he could have also been critically injured.
The latest attempted hit came amid reports that Iran’s top military commander was suspected of being a traitor feeding information to Israel.
Brigadier General Esmail Qaani was understood to be under house arrest and interrogation by investigators from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
They are asking why he dodged Beirut blitzed bunker meetings with Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah and the group’s likely successor Hashem Safieddine.
Qaani – who has vanished from public view – was further rumoured to have had a heart attack while being grilled over his alleged treachery.
Israel last night launched a major airstrike in Beirut targeting a senior Hezbollah figure, which killed at least 22 and wounded hundreds.
The terrifying air raid on the capital is one of the deadliest so far as tensions in the region spiralled in recent weeks.
The chilling airstrike hit two residential buildings in separate neighbourhoods simultaneously – tearing down one eight-story building and wiping out the lower floors of the other, according to AP.
Loud explosions billowed from the city as rescuers were spotted digging through rubble at the scene.
Reports have suggested that the apparent target was one of Hezbollah’s high-ranking security officials Wafiq Safa – who is also Hassan Nasrallah’s brother-in-law.
Hezbollah’s Al Manar TV claimed that the apparent attempt to kill Safa had failed – adding that he hadn’t been inside of either of the targeted buildings.
The Israeli military said it is looking into the reported strikes.
Israeli airstrikes on Hezbollah targets have become more common in Beirut’s southern suburbs since the deadly war began.
But the city had seen two relatively quiet days following intensive strikes in recent weeks.
Tensions between Iran and Israel have become palpable with Israel carrying out waves of heavy strikes across Lebanon and launching a ground invasion.
Could missing Iranian general suspected of being Israeli double agent be reason behind the potentially failed blitz?
by Nick Parker, Foreign Editor & Vera Demertzis, Foreign News Reporter
IRAN’S top military chief reportedly suffered a heart attack during a brutal interrogation over claims he was behind Israel’s terror cull.
According to unconfirmed reports, Brigadier General Esmail Qaan, 67, was transferred to a hospital after a grilling by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Rumours of espionage began to swirl after the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Israel’s October 4 strike on a bunker in Beirut.
His disappearance sparked claims that he is the traitor behind Israel’s incredible cull of Hezbollah’s top brass.
Qaani has not been heard of – even by his family – since the blitz on Hezbollah top brass.
He was believed to have died alongside Hezbollah heir apparent Hashem Saffeieddine, 60, in the bunker blast.
But sources in Lebanon, Iraq and Iran have since revealed Qaani was not at the meeting.
And he dodged another strike a week earlier in which Hezbollah leader Nasrallah was blitzed.
His vanishing act sparked consternation across Iran’s panicked military as rumours spread that he had turned on the evil Islamist regime.
Qaani leads Iran‘s powerful Revolutionary Guard’s elite Quds Force and has been confirmed to be “alive and in good health” by the regime.
He is also being probed over the September 27 bunker buster assassination of Nasrallah, 64.
Nasrallah’s death sparked a desperate hunt for Israel’s mole by the Guard Corps – whose investigators are now said to suspect their own leader.
Multiple sources said that Qaani and his team were under lockdown as interrogators demand answers.
Qaani became head of the Quds Force – the IRGC’s overseas unit – after the US killing of its previous leader, Qassem Soleimani, in January 2020.
Israel has succeeded in wiping out dozens of enemy commanders across the region with intelligence led assassinations and its incredible pager and walkie-talkie bomb blitz.
They included Safieddine, who is believed to have been killed at a meeting of Hezbollah’s Shura Council in Beirut which Qanni was due to attend.
Qaani was, at first, thought to have been killed or wounded but has since emerged that he pulled out of the meeting.
On Tuesday, Iraj Masjedi, deputy commander of the Quds Force and former Iranian ambassador to Baghdad said Qaani was “in good health and is carrying out his daily duties”.
The commander of an armed faction close to Iran said: “The Iranians have serious suspicions that the Israelis have infiltrated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, especially those working in the Lebanese arena, so everyone is currently under investigation.
“Nothing is certain at the moment. The investigations are still ongoing and all possibilities are open.”
Iran’s probe into Nasrallah’s death have also focused on the final movements of Quds force commander Brigadier General Abbas Nilforoushan, who died alongside the terror chief.
Nilforoushan had only just taken over from Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi, who was killed in another Israeli strike on an Iranian consulate in Syrai in April.
Sources said Nasrallah had been outside Beirut’s southern suburbs the night before his killing, but returned to the area to meet with Nilforoushan in a secret operations room.
Nilforoushan, who had flown from Beirut from Tehran earlier, was taken directly from the plane to the bunker beneath in the Haret Hreik suburb.
And Nasrallah was killed by six enormous bunker-buster bombs as soon as he set foot in the meeting to join Qaani’s comrade.
Another source said: “The breach was 100 percent Iranian and there is no question about this part.”
Qaani was in Lebanon a week later and had been expected to attend the Shura Council meeting at Safieddine’s invitation on the day of the air strike.
But he was reported to have Qaani apologised and backed out shortly before Israel struck again.
A Hezbollah source told Middle East Eye: “Israel targeted the venue of this meeting with a raid that was bigger and harsher than the raid that targeted Nasrallah.
“Safieddine’s head was what was wanted, and no one else.
“Qaani was invited to this meeting and under the current circumstances he should have been present.”

The couple got engaged in August 2023 while the BBC star was working the US and Katie was said to be delighted.
At the time a close pal Exclusively told The Sun: “They are so in love and absolutely adore each other.
“Katie is over the moon that Nick popped the question.”

ERLING Haaland looks certain to become a dad, if his latest social media post can be be believed.
The Norwegian hotshot, 24, was on target twice against Slovenia on Thursday night in a Nations League clash.
After the game, he celebrated by sharing a photo on X sucking his left thumb and with a ball under his jersey.
Above the picture were baby and coming soon emojis, which sparked rumours that Haaland was teasing that he is about to become a dad.
The latest reveal comes just a few days after the Man City striker was seen with girlfriend Isabel Haugseng Johansen house-hunting in Cheshire.
Both are big indications that Haaland and Isabel are ready to settle down together.
The pair are longterm loves, having met growing up together in Byrne.
How it began
Haaland and Isabel were united by football in their homeland.
They met each other when they were kids, who shared a mutual interest in the beautiful game and played for Byrne.
Like Haaland, she too was an aspiring footballer in her youth who dreamed of becoming pro.
In a rare interview, she recalled: “We were just kids, kicking a ball around without a care in the world.”
They soon became inseparable friends.
She continued: “We were inseparable on the pitch.
“We didn’t know it back then, but those moments were the foundation of something much bigger.”
Romance blossomed
As Haaland’s career began to take off at RB Salzburg, love with Isabel reportedly blossomed.
They stayed in touch, following his move from Molde.
“We always kept in touch,” Isabel said.
“It didn’t matter where we were—we always made time for each other.”
A move to Borussia Dortmund didn’t hurt their love, and in fact solidified things for the better.
She moved to support his dream of becoming a Bundesliga success, while chasing her own – playing women’s football in Germany.
When he moved to England, after signing for Man City, she joined him in Manchester.
Rare sightings
Over the years, Haaland and Isabel have valued their privacy.
They rarely shared any intimate moments on social media together, preferring to keep their love to themselves.
A fleeting glimpse of their romance appeared when Haaland had a break in his busy schedule.
In 2022, they were spotted enjoying a short break in Marbella together when City weren’t in midweek action.
A couple of years later, they were spied in Capri, Italy on board a yacht.
But, Isabel is more at home living a quieter life.
“I’m happiest when I’m with the people I love, doing the things I enjoy,” Isabel shared. “That’s what keeps me grounded.”
She added: “We just want to live our lives without too much fuss.

“At the end of the day, we’re just like any other couple.”
House hunting
Haaland, who reportedly earns around £865,000-per-week after bonuses, has already amassed a net worth of around £30million.
Finally, he looks ready to invest that money into a property on our shores.
Currently, he is believed to be renting a property in Alderley Edge, which is understood to belong to the Kamani family who own BooHoo and PrettyLittleThings.
He already owns a £6million mansion in Marbella, where he enjoys spending his time in the summer.
Haaland also has a £2.6m three-bedroom apartment in Oslo.
Earlier this week, Isabel and the 6ft5in forward were spotted chatting in the street to an estate agent as they explored an amazing £3.5m mansion in Cheshire.
The property – which is being sold by a Premier League star – boasts six bedrooms and six reception rooms, along with its own gym, swimming pool and steam room and sauna.
And the modern mansion, built in 2017, is just a five-minute drive from the home of Haaland’s best mate and City winger Jack Grealish.
It is owned by West Ham footballer, Danny Ings.
Baby on board
Haaland became Norway’s all-time top scorer with his brace against Slovenia.
Despite the massive achievement, he had more pressing things to tell the world.
With his thumb in his mouth and a ball tucked underneath his shirt to resemble a baby bump, Haaland stared down a camera lens giving fans a not so subtle hint he was to become a dad.
The social media snap was simply captioned: “”.
The post drew plenty of reaction from the football world.
Teammate, and recent first time dad Jack Grealish, commented: “.”
Kalvin Phillips shared: “Love it big fella congrats ”.
Inside Keane and Haaland's feud
Roy Keane’s feud with the Haaland family seemingly began all the way back in 2001 when Keane hit Alfe Inge Haaland, Erling’s father, with a horror tackle.
After a barren spell for Haaland earlier this season, Keane said: “The levels of his general play are so poor. He has to improve that. He is almost like a League Two player.”
Keane upgraded him to a “Championship” player after Haaland scored against Nottingham Forest.
After scoring four against Wolves, Haaland said: “I don’t care about that man.”
But Keane highlighted Haaland’s behaviour when he was subbed off, saying he behaved “like a spoiled brat”.
Sky Sports presenter Dave Jones caught the wrath of Keane’s death stare when he dared to question that label considering his quartet of goals.
While former teammate Aymeric Laporte wrote: “”.
With parents like these, expect baby Haaland to be a decent player too.
