Hassan Nasrallah, the Hezbollah leader who was killed by Israel, is considered a likely successor Hashem Safieddineäreports Reuters.

– He has been the glue that holds the expanding organization together, said the research director of the Carnegie Middle East Center Mohanad Hage Ali before confirmation of Nasrallah’s death, according to the Times of Israel and Reuters.
There were also rumors of Safieddine’s death in Friday’s attacks, but according to a Reuters Hezbollah source, Safieddine is still alive after Friday’s attacks.
Safieddine is Nasrallah’s cousin, to whom he has given leadership roles in Hezbollah’s political and military leadership.
Like his cousin, Safieddine is a cleric who wears a black turban as a sign of his descent from the Prophet Muhammad. These factors count in his favor, as the leader of Hezbollah needs support not only within Hezbollah but also from Iran, says an expert on Shia armed organizations Philip Smyth.
The United States put Safieddine on the terrorist list in 2017.

The Israeli army raided and closed the office of the news channel Al-Jazeera in the occupied Palestinian territory of the West Bank. Al-Jazeera has published a video of the raid on its own website.
The video shows how armed and masked Israeli soldiers enter the premises of the news channel in Ramallah. According to Al-Jazeera, in the 45-day shutdown order it received, Israel accuses the network of “inciting and supporting terrorism.”
This is the second time that Israel attacks a television channel. Last May, Israeli police closed Al-Jazeera’s office in East Jerusalem and blocked access to its website.
It was the first time that Israel has closed a foreign news agency operating in the country.
– It is time to remove the voice of Hamas from our country, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in his statement at the time, according to the news agency AP.
Al-Jazeera has been diligently reporting on the conflict between Israel and Hamas. Journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, who was killed by Israeli bullets in the Jenin refugee camp in 2022, worked for Al-Jazeera for 25 years before her death.
Al-Jazeera, which is largely funded by Qatar, said it would continue to operate in its Jordanian office.

This article summarizes the most important events of the war in Ukraine from Saturday and Sunday the 14th and 15th. September 2024. These are the 934th and 935th days of the war.
Chairman of the NATO Military Committee Admiral Rob Bauer stated at a meeting in Prague on Saturday that Ukraine would have a good military reason to strike deeper into Russia with Western weapons.
– Militarily, there is a good reason for that; weakens the enemy, weakens its transport chains, fuel transports, firepower coming to the front, explained Bauer.
Reuters reported on the topic.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi has appealed to his allies to allow the country to use Western weapons, especially long-range US and British missiles, against Russia.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer traveled to Washington on Friday to meet US President Joe Biden. However, no decision was made.
Even if, according to Admiral Bauer, Ukraine has a military reason for the attacks in Russia, the arms donors have the right to limit their use.
– In a military sense, such attacks are carried out because one wants to weaken the attacking enemy, so that not only would one fight against the arrows coming towards them, but the attack would be directed against the archer, commented Bauer.
According to the admiral, limiting the use of weapons is also political, as the parties who handed over the weapons may feel that they are partially responsible for their use.
Russian President Vladimir Putin threatened NATO with direct war if Ukraine is given permission to use long-range weapons. On Thursday, Putin said that Kiev does not have the know-how and ability to use long-range missiles and that they would be operated by NATO.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi again asked his Western partners to allow Ukrainian strikes deep into Russia.

– The only way to respond to this terrorism is a systematic solution, and that solution is a long-range capability, the ability to destroy Russian military aircraft at their bases, Zelenskyi said.
– This is an obvious, reasonable decision. We have already explained to all our partners why Ukraine really needs an adequate long-range capability.

The president said that Ukraine is waiting for decisions from the United States, Britain, France, Germany and Italy, whose “determination could help save lives”.

Medvedev, who has made aggressive comments before, wrote his latest threatening message on Telegram.
According to Medvedev, when Russia’s patience runs out, it would be ready to turn Kiev into a “huge, melted blob”. Medvedev even hints at the use of nuclear weapons, although according to him no one wants them to be launched.

Some of the US authorities are “deeply suspicious” that Ukraine’s situation would change if it were given permission to use long-range weapons on Russian soil. The news agency Reuters reported about it.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer traveled to Washington on Friday to meet US President Joe Biden. News about the use of long-range weapons in Russia was expected from the two.
However, the presidents delayed the decision. According to Starmer, the issue will be discussed among several participants at the UN General Assembly next week.
According to AP news agency’s US sources, Starmer probably tried to get Biden’s approval for a permit that would allow Ukraine to use British long-range Storm Shadow missiles in Russia. Some of the missile parts are manufactured in the United States.
According to skeptical US officials who spoke to Reuters, Ukraine can already strike targets in Russia with the help of drones. According to officials, the missiles would improve Ukraine’s capabilities, but they are too few and too expensive to change the dynamics of the war.
According to the authorities, Ukraine should focus on countering the Russian attack in the eastern part of the country.
Russian President Vladimir Putin threatened NATO with direct war if Ukraine is given permission to use long-range weapons.
White House Press Secretary John Kirby said Friday that the U.S. takes such threats seriously, though Putin’s rhetoric is nothing new, according to Kirby.
