Hezbollah elects Naim Qassem to succeed slain head Hassan Nasrallah

ai generated text

Sheikh Naim Qassem has been elected as the new leader of the Lebanese group Hezbollah following the death of secretary general Hassan Nasrallah in an Israeli attack. The decision comes after a period of intense conflict between Hezbollah and Israel, which has resulted in the deaths of many senior Hezbollah officials. Qassem, 71, has been a senior figure in the group for over 30 years and has been its deputy secretary general since 1991. He has filled in for Nasrallah since his death and has supported efforts towards achieving a ceasefire in Lebanon.
