Senior Hezbollah terrorist seen in public after surviving apparent Israeli hit attempt
[IsraelTimes] A senior Hezbollah official who survived an apparent assassination attempt last month is seen in pictures shared by Lebanese media touring openly in public after the declaration of a ceasefire.

Hezbollah Liaison and Coordination Unit chief Wafiq Safa survived a rare strike in central Beirut on October 10, according to reports, though claims at the time described him as badly injured.

In pictures circulating today, Safa is seen without any visible ailments, smiling while standing with two others in a cemetery.

A minaret in the background appears to match one in the Ghobeiry section of Beirut.



Safa was sanctioned in 2019 by the US Treasury Department, which described him as Hezbollah’s interlocutor to the Lebanese security forces.

“As the head of Hezbollah’s security apparatus, which is directly linked to Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah, Safa has exploited Lebanon’s ports and border crossings to smuggle contraband and facilitate travel on behalf of Hezbollah, undermining the security and safety of the Lebanese people, while also draining valuable import duties and revenue away from the Lebanese government,” the Treasury Department wrote at the time.
