Sheikh Qassem appointed as new chief of Hezbollah

Hezbollah’s Deputy Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem was elected as the new chief of the Lebanese resistance movement after his predecessor Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was assassinated in an Israeli strike on southern Beirut last month.
On Tuesday, Hezbollah’s Shura Council, the group’s central decision-making body, appointed the 60-year-old cleric to the post, Press TV reported.
“Based on faith in Allah Almighty…, adherence to Hezbollah’s principles and goals, and following the established procedure for the election of the Secretary-General, Hezbollah’s Shura Council has elected His Eminence Sheikh Naim Qassem as Secretary-General of Hezbollah, entrusting him with the blessed banner on this journey,” the council said in a statement. Sheikh Qassem is a veteran figure in Hezbollah, having served as deputy secretary general of the Lebanese resistance group since 1991.
