Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem has strengthened his standing inside the group, report says
Intelligence sources in the region say Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem has recently gained strength inside the organization, according to a Saturday evening report on the weekend news edition. He has become deeply involved in the group’s major decisions, including operational matters.
His position is now described as stable, unlike the uncertain start to his tenure after the killing of Hassan Nasrallah and the November 2024 ceasefire agreement. At that time, many questioned whether Qassem could lead the terror group in the post-Nasrallah era, especially since he was not the first-choice successor.
The report says criticism of Qassem still exists, but overall his decision to launch a campaign against Israel following the war with Iran appears to have boosted his internal standing. The article does not say what the next operational steps will be, but it frames this as a notable consolidation of authority within Hezbollah.
