Mohammad-Javad Larijani, a former top advisor to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, described the attack that killed Hassan Nasrallah as the result of a "serious informational and security breach" within the Tehran-supported regional militia, referred to as Resistance. He said that the "Zionist regime managed to exploit vulnerabilities, causing significant damage," whether through "pagers or other gaps," and stressed that "even the recent bombing was the result of infiltration."
Hashem Safieddine, a key figure in Hezbollah's political and social efforts, is seen as a potential successor to Hassan Nasrallah as Secretary General of Hezbollah, according to three senior Israeli defense officials cited by The New York Times. Safieddine, a cousin of Nasrallah, was notably one of the senior leaders not present at the site of the strike that killed several Hezbollah commanders.
