Update on Esmail Qaani
[IsraelTimes] Rumors have continued to swirl in recent days over the status of Esmail Qaani, the head of Iran's extraterritorial Quds Force who hasn't been seen in public for several weeks.

Qaani has been conspicuously absent since he traveled to Beirut two days after the massive Israeli airstrike late last month that killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and several other top commanders, including an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps deputy commander.

After unconfirmed reports that he had been killed in a subsequent Israeli strike in Beirut alongside a top Hezbollah leader,
…that would be Hashem Safieddine
claims have now surfaced on Arabic and regional media that while he is alive, Qaani is being investigated by the IRGC, of which his Quds Force is part, on suspicion of involvement in Israeli intelligence infiltration and of playing a part in Israel's assassination late last month of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah
Times of Israel bases its reporting on info from the Saudis and Qataris.
