Hezbollah launches more attacks as it announces new leader in wake of deaths
By Ryan Robertson (Anchor), Evan Hummel (Producer), Zachary Hill (Video Editor)
The Lebanese militant group Hezbollah announced on Tuesday, Oct. 29, that it had selected Sheikh Naim Kassem to be its next leader. Kassem has been serving as the de facto leader of the Iran proxy group ever since an Israeli airstrike killed late leader Hassan Nasrallah and another Israeli airstrike took out Hashem Safieddine, who many believed would have been the next leader of Hezbollah.

Kassem has been the deputy leader of the group over the past three decades. He’ll now serve as secretary general.
After the announcement, the Iran proxy group vowed to continue Nasrallah’s policies until “victory is achieved.”
Shortly afterward, eight Australian soldiers in a United Nations peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon were reportedly slightly injured in a suspected Hezbollah missile strike. Australia’s Defense Ministry condemned the attack.
Hezbollah also fired dozens of rockets into northern Israel on Tuesday, killing at least one person, according to Israeli authorities.
The militant group has launched rockets into Israel since the start of Israel’s war against Hamas, which is also an Iran proxy group.
