In his first speech as Hezbollah chief, Sheikh Naim Qassem has threatened to kill Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. At the same time, he said that the door to a ceasefire in the ongoing war is also open.

Netanyahu is afraid of his life due to Hezbollah attacks. Naim Qassem claimed this. The new head of the armed group also said during his speech that an Israeli will one day kill Netanyahu. The Times of Israel reported this in a report on Wednesday (October 30).

In his first televised speech, the new Hezbollah chief said that the enemy must know that we will not retreat by bombing our villages and cities and that the resistance will be strong.

On October 21, Hezbollah carried out a drone attack on the bedroom of Netanyahu’s residence. But Netanyahu and his family members were not there at the time of the attack.

Naim Qassem said, “We were able to deliver a drone to Netanyahu’s house. Netanyahu has survived this time. Perhaps an Israeli will kill him, perhaps during his speech.”

He also said, “Our diplomatic contacts have confirmed to us that Netanyahu is very scared, because we have targeted him.”

Earlier, Israel reacted after the announcement of Naim Qassem’s name as the new head of the Lebanese political and armed organization Hezbollah. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant claimed that Naim Qassem’s term would be “temporary.” He would not last long.
