Hezbollah's Naim Qassem: Assassination of Hashemi Safieddine Was "Earthquake" that Turned My Life Upside Down
Naim Qassem's statement highlights the significant impact of Hashemi Safadin's assassination on him personally and on Hezbollah as a whole. This event was particularly devastating as it followed the assassination of Hassan Nasrallah, the former Secretary-General of Hezbollah.
Qassem has been a key figure in Hezbollah, serving as Deputy Secretary-General before taking over as Secretary-General after Nasrallah's death. In his speeches, he has emphasized the group's determination to continue fighting against Israel and its allies.
Under Qassem's leadership, Hezbollah has maintained its defiant stance against Israel, with Qassem vowing to continue the fight and ultimately emerge victorious. His statements have also reflected the group's narrative of resistance and martyrdom, with Qassem honoring the memory of fallen leaders like Nasrallah and Safadin.
