Israel Targets Hezbollah Chief Naim Qassem for Elimination After Attacks

• Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz declared Hezbollah Chief Naim Qassem a "marked target for elimination" after the group attacked Israel.
• Hezbollah's attack was in retaliation for the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in a coordinated US-Israel strike.
• Katz warned that Israel would not revert to pre-October 7 rules of engagement and would defend its citizens with full force.
• The IDF has been instructed to act forcefully against Hezbollah, with the primary objective of defeating the Iranian regime under 'Operation Lion's Roar'.
• This follows a series of Israeli strikes that have eliminated several senior Hezbollah figures, including Hassan Nasrallah and Hashem Safieddine.
