Acting Hezbollah leader warns of more rocket attacks on Israel
Hezbollah's deputy leader, Sheikh Naim Kassem, listens to a speech by then-leader Hassan Nasrallah on a screen in southern Beirut, June 19, 2024

HEZBOLLAH’S acting leader said today that even more Israelis will be displaced as its fighters extend its rocket fire deeper into Israel.

The warning came during a defiant televised statement by Sheikh Naim Kassem marking the anniversary of fighting that escalated into war last month.

Mr Kassem said that its military capabilities are still intact and that it has replaced all of its senior commanders after weeks of heavy Israeli bombing across large parts of Lebanon, including targeted strikes that killed much of its top command in a matter of days, alongside hundreds of bystanders.
