Hezbollah’s deputy leader, Naim Qassem, announced the group’s readiness to face any Israeli ground invasion after the death of chief Hassan Nasrallah. The organization has been launching rockets into Israel amid ongoing airstrikes that have resulted in over 1,000 Lebanese casualties and displaced a million people.
In light of Nasrallah’s death, Hezbollah must appoint a new leader. Meanwhile, Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati signaled readiness to implement UN resolutions limiting Hezbollah’s armed presence. Iran has vowed to respond to Israeli actions, raising concerns about regional stability and humanitarian impacts.
