Israel: New Hezbollah Chief’s “Temporary Appointment” Won’t Last Long

Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant stated that Hezbollah’s new chief, Naim Qassem, is a “temporary appointment” unlikely to last long. This follows Qassem’s selection to succeed Hassan Nasrallah, killed in an Israeli strike last month. Tensions between Israel and Hezbollah have escalated since September 23, with over 1,700 fatalities reported in Lebanon amid ongoing military operations.
