Kashif verified the video via \u201cGoogle Images\u201d tool and found that it is old and the claim is misleading. The clip shows a Hezbollah maneuver in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On30\/5\/2023, Al-Manar TV channel<\/a>\u00a0published\u00a0a video clip in a report with the following title: \u201cVideo | War Media publishes new scenes of the Islamic Resistance maneuver a few days ago.\u201d It turned out that the circulated video clip is an excerpt from the maneuver video which falls specifically between 14:27 and 15:15.<\/p>\n\n\n

Al-Alam channel<\/a>\u00a0also published\u00a0the video on 31\/5\/2023 in a report stating that Hezbollah had conducted a maneuver in southern Lebanon a few days ago, which included a military parade and a simulation of attacks targeting the Israeli occupation via a drone or a raid. About 200 Hezbollah members participated in the maneuver, which was conducted in the town of Armata, about 20 km north of the border with Israel, on the occasion of the anniversary of Israel’s withdrawal from southern Lebanon on 25\/5\/2000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hezbollah<\/a>\u00a0announced on Saturday 28\/9\/2024 the killing of the party\u2019s Secretary-General, Hassan Nasrallah, in an Israeli bombardment on Friday 27\/9\/2024 on the southern suburbs of Beirut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hezbollah has not yet announced the selection of its Secretary-General to succeed Nasrallah, as of the time of preparing this verification. Meanwhile,\u00a0Hashem Safieddine,<\/a>\u00a0Nasrallah\u2019s cousin and son-in-law of the former commander of the Quds Force in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, Qassem Soleimani, is at the forefront of the names nominated to lead the party, according to press reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al-Hadath\u00a0<\/a>and Al-Arabiya<\/a>\u00a0channels announced,\u00a0according to private sources, that Hezbollah\u2019s Shura Council had chosen Hashem Safieddine as Nasrallah\u2019s successor, while Hezbollah\u2019s\u00a0media relations confirmed<\/a>\u00a0in a brief statement issued on 30\/9\/2024, that the circulating news related to the organizational procedures within the party\u2019s leadership after Nasrallah\u2019s assassination is of no importance and cannot be built upon unless an official statement is issued regarding it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
