Hezbollah has officially appointed Naim Kassem as its new leader following the death of Hassan Nasrallah in an Israeli airstrike. Kassem has been a long-time deputy to Nasrallah and has assumed the role of acting leader since the incident.
This leadership transition marks a significant change for Hezbollah as Kassem steps into Nasrallah's shoes, after his predecessor's two-decade reign over the group.
The announcement came on Tuesday, solidifying Kassem's position within the organization amidst a complex geopolitical context.
