The Spin

Pro-Israel narrative

Naim Qassem will have the same fate as his predecessor Hassan Nasrallah. After killing the long-time terror leader, Israel was swiftly able to eliminate his most likely successor, Hashem Safieddine, and it will not be difficult to locate Qassem, even if he has reportedly fled to Tehran in fear of Israel's might.

Jerusalem Post

Anti-Israel narrative

Sheikh Naim will continue in the footsteps of those before him and continue Hezbollah's valiant resistance to Israel's aggression. Hezbollah has endured many painful blows in recent months, but it has remained steadfast and will continue defending Lebanon.
