Hezbollah announced on October 23, 2024, the martyrdom of Sayyed Hashem Safieddine, the head of the Executive Council of the Resistance movement and later Secretary-General, in an Israeli airstrike that took place days ago. Sayyed Safieddine was elected as Secretary General after Sayyed Nasrallah's martyrdom.

Sayyed Safieddine, a key figure in the Lebanese resistance movement, was killed alongside several of his fellow fighters, in what the Resistance condemned as a "criminal and aggressive Zionist airstrike."

In a heartfelt statement, Hezbollah paid tribute to Sayyed Safieddine, describing him as a "great leader and esteemed martyr on the path to al-Quds." The statement emphasized that he was martyred content and patient, accepting his fate as a martyr.
