LEBANON's Hezbollah movement announced on Tuesday it has chosen deputy head Naim Qassem to succeed Hasan Nasrallah as leader after his death in an Israeli strike on south Beirut last month.
"Hezbollah's (governing) Shura Council agreed to elect... Sheikh Naim Qassem as secretary general of Hezbollah," the Iran-backed group said in a statement, more than a month after Nasrallah's killing.
Hezbollah pledged to keep "the flame of resistance burning" until victory is achieved against Israel after all-out war erupted on September 23.
Reacting to the news, Israel's Defence Minister Yoav Gallant warned Hezbollah's new leader, Naim Qassem, on Tuesday that his appointment was "not for long".
