Report: Wafiq Safa in critical condition after Beirut strike
Hezbollah senior leader Wafiq Safa was seriously injured and is in critical condition following the deadly Israeli airstrikes that targeted two buildings in Beirut’s Noueiri and Bourj Abi Haidar areas, sources told Sky News Arabia on Friday.
Hezbollah's Al-Manar television and Israeli media said Thursday that the strikes aimed to kill Safa, a top security and political official with the group.
Al-Manar said Safa was not in either building at the time. The Israeli military had no comment on the reports.
The two strikes killed 22 people and wounded 117 others.
