Naim Qassem Elected as New Hezbollah Leader Following Nasrallah’s Death

 

In a significant leadership change, Hezbollah has elected Naim Qassem as its new leader following the death of Hassan Nasrallah. Nasrallah, who led the group for nearly three decades, was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Beirut’s southern suburb last month.
