According to senior security officials, Sheikh Naim Kassem, the new Secretary General of Hezbollah, is in Israel’s crosshairs and it will work to eliminate him.
In their estimation, his appointment was made under Iranian pressure on the Hezbollah leadership to show that the organization recovers and controls the situation after the severe blows it received from Israel.
According to senior security officials, Israel’s recent airstrike on Iran has reportedly destroyed all of Iran’s strategic air defense capabilities and severely hindered its ability to produce new ballistic missiles.

Hezbollah is facing a crucial decision as it prepares to choose a successor following the death of its leader, Hassan Nasrallah.
With the mourning period coming to an end, Iran is expected to play a decisive role in determining the new leader, someone who will be instrumental in rebuilding Hezbollah’s power.
The leading candidate for this position is Hashem Safi al-Din, Nasrallah’s cousin and the head of Hezbollah’s executive council, who maintains close ties with Iran.
Since the onset of the war, Hassan Nasrallah has made a series of strategic miscalculations that have significantly weakened Hezbollah and harmed the people of Lebanon.
His reputation as a wise and effective leader has been severely tarnished in Lebanon and across the Arab world, eroding his credibility and leaving him viewed as a failure.
Iran fears that Israel is setting a trap for both Tehran and Hezbollah, with the goal of provoking them into a regional conflict.
Such a war, according to Iranian leaders, would grant Israel international legitimacy to strike a decisive and potentially devastating blow against them.
The Iranian directive to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah remains clear: adhere to the strategy of attrition against Israel and maintain the “unity of the arenas,” without deviating from this approach.
The assassination of Ibrahim Akil, head of Hezbollah’s operations department and commander of the “Radwan” force, represents a significant intelligence and operational achievement in the ongoing battle of wits between Israel and Hezbollah.
A senior Israeli official noted that Israel has the capability to assassinate Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah’s Secretary General, though this remains a decision for the political leadership.
Israel carried out a creative and unprecedented attack against thousands of operatives of the Hezbollah terrorist organization in Lebanon and is preparing for the organization’s revenge response.
The US is working through diplomatic channels to prevent regional escalation, it is Iran that will determine the nature of Hezbollah’s response, the successful operation does not currently change Israel’s strategic situation.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has intensified his rhetoric against Israel, urging Muslim countries to form an alliance against it. This escalation has raised concerns among political officials in Jerusalem, with Israel even calling for Turkey’s expulsion from NATO.
At the top of Hezbollah, a succession battle is underway following the assassination of Fuad Shukr, the group’s Chief of Staff.
The leading candidate to fill this critical role is Talal Hamiya, commander of Unit 910. However, his appointment requires approval from Iran, and surprises may yet emerge.
