Israel defence minister vows new Hezbollah leader won't last 'long'

Israel's Defence Minister Yoav Gallant warned Hezbollah's new leader, Naim Qassem, on Tuesday that his appointment was "not for long".

"Temporary appointment. Not for long," Gallant wrote in a post on X alongside a photograph of Qassem, whom Hezbollah had earlier named as assassinated leader Hassan Nasrallah's successor.

 In a separate post in Hebrew, Gallant wrote that the "countdown has begun".
