hassan nasrallah has led lebanese hezbollah for more than 30 years and built it into one of the most powerful paramilitary organizations in the middle east. now, after his death, who can continue to lead hezbollah has become a major focus of attention.
nasrallah was born in southern lebanon in 1960 to a shiite family. in 1982, the israeli army invaded lebanon, and nearly 600,000 shia muslim refugees poured into the southern suburbs of beirut. these destitute refugees wanted to have their own organization, so nasrallah broke away from the shiite organization "amal movement" and founded hezbollah with his teacher mousavi with the support of iran. mousavi was elected as the first general secretary of hezbollah.
in 1992, after israel killed mousavi, nasrallah became the "head" of the organization. under his leadership, hezbollah gradually transformed from an underground force into an important force in lebanese politics. nasrallah not only achieved notable military victories, including forcing israel to withdraw from southern lebanon in 2000, but also demonstrated unusual leadership on the political stage.
"being at odds with israel" and "driving israel out of lebanon" are the firm beliefs of nasrallah and hezbollah. this has also made nasrallah one of israel's biggest enemies. israel has long wanted to get rid of him, but has never succeeded.
today, nasrallah was killed by the israeli army, and his deputy and many others were also killed. as a result, who will succeed nasrallah has become a thorny issue. qatar's al jazeera quoted iskharov, an arab affairs expert and israeli analyst, as saying that nasrallah's potential successor is his cousin hashim safieddin or the chairman of hezbollah's shari'a council mohammed yazbek, or someone else.
safiedine received the most media attention. reuters reported that safiedine oversees hezbollah’s political affairs and is a member of the organization’s jihad committee. he is a cousin of nasrallah, who gave him tailor-made positions and training on various committees within hezbollah. however, there is news that his life and death are still unknown. reuters quoted sources close to hezbollah as saying that safieddin was still alive after the israeli air strike on the 27th.(huang peizhao)
