Beirut: Lebanon's Hezbollah will choose a successor to its slain secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah "at the earliest opportunity" and will continue the fight against Israel, the Iran-backed group's deputy chief Naim Qassem said on Monday.
He said the group was continuing its operations, working according to plans already laid out, and described its attacks thus far as the "minimum", adding that the battle could be long.
