Hezbollah 'undeterred' by Israeli threats against new chief, official says

Senior Hezbollah official Hassan Fadlallah said on Wednesday a remark by Israel's defence minister suggesting the Lebanese group's new chief, Naim Qassem, would not hold the post for long would not deter the group's resistance.

Defence Minister Yoav Gallant posted a photo of Qassem on X on Tuesday with the caption: "Temporary appointment. Not for long."
