The Straits Times

October 30, 2024

Lebanese armed group Hezbollah said on Oct 29 it had elected deputy head Naim Qassem to succeed slain secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed in an Israeli air attack on Beirut's southern suburb over a month ago.

The group said in a written statement that its Shura Council elected Qassem in accordance with its established mechanism.

It pledged to keep "the flame of resistance burning" until victory is achieved against Israel after all-out war erupted on Sept 23.

Hashem Safieddine, the head of Hezbollah's executive council, was initially tipped to succeed Nasrallah. But he too was killed in an Israeli strike on Beirut's southern suburbs shortly after Nasrallah's assassination.
