Potential new Hezbollah leader out of contact, Lebanese source says
BEIRUT/JERUSALEM, Oct 5 (Reuters) -The potential successor to slain Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has been out of contact since Friday, a Lebanese security source said on Saturday, after an Israeli airstrike reported to have targeted him. 被暗杀的真主党领袖赛义德·哈桑·纳斯鲁拉的潜在继任者自周五以来一直失联，一名黎巴嫩安全消息人士周六表示，这可能是因为以色列的一次空袭针对了他。In its campaign against the Iran-backed Lebanese group, Israel carried out a large strike on Beirut's southern suburbs late on Thursday that Axios cited three Israeli officials as saying targeted Hashem Safieddine in an underground bunker. 在其针对伊朗支持的黎巴嫩组织的行动中，以色列于周四晚间对贝鲁特南郊发动了大规模袭击。据Axios援引三名以色列官员的话称，此次袭击目标是位于地下掩体中的哈希姆·萨菲丁。
The Lebanese security source and two other Lebanese security sources said Israeli strikes since Friday on Dahiyeh, a residential area and Hezbollah stronghold in southern Beirut, have kept rescue workers from scouring the site of the attack. 该黎巴嫩安全消息人士和另外两名黎巴嫩安全消息人士表示，自周五以来，以色列对位于贝鲁特南部、真主党据点的住宅区Dahiyeh的空袭已阻止救援人员搜索袭击现场。Hezbollah has made no comment so far on Safieddine. 到目前为止，真主党尚未对萨菲丁的情况发表任何评论。
The loss of Nasrallah's rumoured successor would be another blow to Hezbollah and its patron Iran. Israeli strikes across the region in the past year, sharply accelerated in the past few weeks, have decimated Hezbollah's leadership. 纳斯鲁拉的潜在继任者的失踪将对真主党及其支持者伊朗造成又一次打击。过去一年中，以色列在该地区的打击行动，尤其是在过去几周急剧加速，已严重削弱了真主党的领导层。Israel expanded its conflict in Lebanon on Saturday with its first strike in the northern city of Tripoli, a Lebanese security official said, after more bombs hit Beirut suburbs and Israeli troops launched raids in the south. 一名黎巴嫩安全官员表示，以色列周六首次在黎巴嫩北部城市的黎波里展开袭击，此前，以色列对贝鲁特郊区的轰炸加剧，并且以军在南部地区发动了突袭。At least eight strikes hit Beirut’s southern suburbs late on Saturday including close to the country’s main airport, according to Reuters witnesses, after the Israeli military issued warnings to residents of certain buildings in the area. 据路透社目击者报道，周六晚间至少有八次空袭打击了贝鲁特南郊，其中包括靠近该国主要机场的区域，此前以色列军方已对该地区某些建筑物的居民发出了警告。
