The acting leader of Hezbollah has issued a serious warning to Israel as the conflict between the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the militant organization intensifies.
As Hezbollah continues to fire missiles into Israel, more Israelis will be forced to flee, according to acting leader Sheikh Naim Kassem, who was named after the IDF killed Hassan Nasrallah in an attack on September 27. His remarks were made on television today.

He also asserted that despite the significant damage caused by airstrikes and the pager and walkie-talkie explosions, Hezbollah’s capabilities remained largely unaffected.
Kassem said: ‘We are firing hundreds of rockets and dozens of drones. A large number of settlements and cities are under the fire of the resistance.
‘Our capabilities are fine and our fighters are deployed along the front lines.’
He suggested Hezbollah’s top leaders are directing the war and that commanders killed by Israel have been replaced, saying: ‘We have no vacant posts.’
He added that Hezbollah will name a new leader to succeed Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed in an Israeli air strike on an underground base in Beirut last month, ‘but the circumstances are difficult because of the war’.
The conflict between Hezbollah and Israel has today reached new heights.
Hezbollah today said that it launched a ‘large salvo’ of 85 projectiles at the northern Israeli city of Haifa, with the IDF confirming it had witnessed the missiles crossing the border, adding that it had intercepted most of them.
Meanwhile, the IDF said it killed a senior Hezbollah commander in a strike on Beirut.
The military said the strike killed Suhail Husseini, who it said was responsible for overseeing logistics, budget, and management of the group.
