Sheikh Naim Kassem threatened to kill Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in his first speech after being appointed as the head of Hezbollah. At the same time, the door of ceasefire is also open in the ongoing war, he said.

Netanyahu is afraid of losing his life in fear of Hezbollah attacks. Naeem Kasem has claimed this. The new head of the armed group also said during the speech that an Israeli would one day kill Netanyahu.

The Times of Israel reported this in a report on Wednesday (October 30).

In his first televised address on Wednesday, Qassem said, "The enemy must know that we cannot retreat by bombing our villages and towns and that the resistance will be strong."

Hezbollah carried out a drone attack on the bedroom of Netanyahu's residence on October 21. But Netanyahu and his family members were not there during the attack.

Naim Kassem also said, 'We were able to deliver a drone to Netanyahu's house. Netanyahu has survived this time, but perhaps his time has not yet come.'

'Perhaps an Israeli will kill him, perhaps during his speech.'

'Our diplomatic contacts have confirmed to us that Netanyahu is very scared, because we have targeted him'.

Earlier, Israel reacted after the announcement of the name of Naim Qassem as the new head of the Lebanese political and armed organization Hezbollah. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant claimed that Naim Kasem's tenure would be 'temporary'. He won't last long.
