In a dramatic shift in Hezbollah’s leadership, Naim Kassem has been appointed the new leader following the reported assassination of Hassan Nasrallah by Israeli forces.
Nasrallah, a polarizing figure in the Middle East for decades, was reportedly targeted in a precision attack, sparking swift political repercussions.
Kassem, Nasrallah’s longtime deputy, now faces the challenge of leading the powerful group amid intensifying regional tensions.
The swift leadership change signals Hezbollah’s intent to maintain cohesion as allies and opponents react.
Israel remains on alert, bracing for possible reprisals from Hezbollah’s vast network, as both countries anticipate a volatile period ahead.
