The militant group Hezbollah has announced deputy chief Naim Kassem will succeed its slain leader Hassan Nasrallah.
The group has released a statement, saying Kassem was elected for the role due to his ‘adherence to the principles and goals of Hezbollah’. The 71-year-old replaces Nasrallah who was killed in an Israeli strike in Beirut in September.
For more on this, we talk to Journalist Stella Männer in Beirut.
