Hezbollah has appointed Shiite cleric Naim Qassem as its new leader following the death of his predecessor, Hassan Nasrallah, in an Israeli airstrike. Qassem, a prominent figure in the organization, now heads a group that has historically been considered Iran's primary proxy in its conflict with Israel.
In recent weeks, Hezbollah has faced significant losses due to Israeli strikes, resulting in the deaths of top leaders, injuries to thousands of fighters, and a decrease in missile capabilities. The group is currently under intense military pressure from Israel in southern Lebanon.
