Hezbollah senior official Wafiq Safa stated in a new interview that the late Hassan Nasrallah was so shaken by the September 2024 pager attack that he stopped eating and barely drank. Safa claimed Nasrallah would have died of grief even if the Israeli strike had not killed him.
Hezbollah senior official Wafiq Safa, who served as the liaison between the organization's military and political wings, gave a new interview repeating his earlier claims about the late Hassan Nasrallah's state after the September 2024 pager attack. Safa said Nasrallah could not bear the sight of wounded pager-attack victims, stopped eating, and barely drank. "If he had not been killed (in the Israeli strike, Allah willing), he would have died of grief," Safa added. "Everything in the 40 years before the pager attack was one thing; the pager attack was something else entirely."
As The Zioneer reported on Monday, Safa gave a previous interview with a similar account. This new interview reiterates and reinforces the same narrative, with no new factual details about the pager attack or Nasrallah's death. The account remains a one-source, internal Hezbollah depiction of the former leader's emotional state, rather than an externally verified event.
