Hezbollah announced the election of Naim Kassem as the new secretary-general following Hassan Nasrallah's death, emphasizing continuity of policies and military capabilities.
In a recent speech, Kassem asserted that Hezbollah's military capabilities remain intact post-Nasrallah's assassination and warned Israelis of continued fighting.
Analyst Qassim Qassir noted Kassem's appointment signals Hezbollah's self-reliance, countering claims of Iranian Revolutionary Guard control over the group.
Kassem, seen as lacking Nasrallah's oratorical abilities, is expected to maintain the group's tough stance against Israel amid rising tensions.
