Hezbollah announces that its newly appointed leader Naim Qassem will deliver his first address as secretary general today at 3 p.m. Israel time — one hour from now.

Qassem’s appointment was announced on Monday, following the assassination of Hassan Nasrallah in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut last month and of his presumed successor Hashem Safieddine earlier this month.
