Hezbollah's second-in-command, Naim Qassem, has indicated that the terrorist group is in the process of selecting a new leader after the death of Hassan Nasrallah. Qassem stated that they will appoint a new secretary-general for the party at the earliest opportunity and fill leadership positions permanently.
In his first televised speech since Nasrallah's demise in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut, Qassem emphasized that Hezbollah remains active, launching rockets at Israel. He asserted that their military capabilities are intact, dismissing Israeli claims of significant hits on their weaponry.
Qassem also warned of Hezbollah's readiness to counter any potential Israeli ground incursion into Lebanon, affirming the resistance forces' preparedness for engagement.
The Israeli Defense Forces confirmed Nasrallah's death in a strike on Hezbollah's headquarters, attributing the operation to precise intelligence that led to the targeted attack on the group's central command in Beirut.
According to the IDF statement, the strike aimed to neutralize Nasrallah, along with other high-ranking Hezbollah figures, who were allegedly orchestrating terrorist activities against Israel from the underground headquarters in Dahieh.
Hezbollah's announcement of selecting a new leader and its continued military activities underscore the ongoing tensions in the region, with the group poised to maintain its resistance against perceived threats.
