Hezbollah’s deputy secretary-general, Naim Qassem, has reportedly fled Lebanon and is now residing in Tehran amid fears of assassination by Israel, according to a report by The Times of Israel.
Qassem left Beirut on October 5 on a helicopter used by Tehran’s foreign secretary, Abbas Araghchi, during his condition visit to Lebanon and Syria, as reported by UAE-based Erem News, citing an unnamed Persian origin. According to the cause, Qassem’s evacuation was ordered by senior Iranian authorities due to concerns about an Jewish assassination attempt.
Since the demise of Hezbollah head Hassan Nasrallah, Qassem has delivered three statements. According to Erem News, the first was recorded in Beirut, while the second and third were given in Tehran.
As part of its continued battle against the organization, Israel has targeted and eliminated several top Hezbollah people. The eliminated leaders include Hezbollah’s chief executive Hassan Nasrallah, the head of the founding group, Mohammed Shukr, the mind of the helicopter unit Ibrahim Qubaisi, the head of the weapon device Ibrahim Qubaisi, the head of the operations unit Ibrahim Aqil, and the head of the key council, Nabil Kaouk.
Recently, Hamas head Yahya Sinwar, known for planning the 2023 cross-border attacks in Israel, was killed after being shot in the head during a shootout with Israeli troops in Rafah, southwestern Gaza.
The Israeli army has made it known that it will quickly take action against Hezbollah’s financial infrastructure in Beirut and other regions. Rear captain Daniel Hagari, a spokeswoman for the Jewish war, said that evacuation warnings may be issued, saying,” Someone near sites used to fund Hezbollah’s criminal action is required to stay away from them immediately”.
