Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem provided extensive insights into the events surrounding the October 7 attacks and subsequent developments in a recent interview with Lebanese Al-Mayadeen TV. He acknowledged that Hezbollah and its allies underestimated Israeli surveillance capabilities prior to the so-called "Pager Attack," which involved the purchase and deployment of explosive devices over the past year to year and a half. Following this attack, Hezbollah established a central investigation committee, which remains active and has yet to conclude its findings, alongside several secondary committees focused on specific issues such as the devices used by key figures including Hassan Nasrallah and Safi al-Din. Qassem described the October 7 Hamas operation as a pivotal and transformative event in the region, noting that Hezbollah decided to enter a support battle rather than a full-scale war. He highlighted the effective coordination within the resistance front, including Hamas, which altered the regional dynamics. Qassem also expressed emotional sentiments regarding the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, stating it was a surprise to both Hezbollah and the world, and conveyed his personal sense of loss. The interview underscored Hezbollah's ongoing efforts to adapt and respond to the evolving security landscape amid heightened tensions with Israel.
