The second in command of Hezbollah was reported killed in Syria yesterday. Here is the news report taken from the Jerusalem Post:
Hezbollah's deputy chief was killed Tuesday when Syrian rebels bombed a convoy consisting of high-ranking Syrian government officers near the Lebanon border, news portal Now Lebanon quoted the Free Syria Army as saying on Wednesday. “It has been confirmed... that Hezbollah’s number two man died after [receiving] a serious injury,” the Free Syria Army posted on its Twitter account.
Since even the Jerusalem Post mentions later in the article that there is a dispute as to whether Naim Qassam was just injured or if he was killed, one cannot be sure exactly what happened. Nevertheless, either way, this is important. Currently, Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah is undergoing treatment for an "illness" in Iran. It is rumored that Nasrallah has terminal cancer and not long to live. If both Nasrallah and Qassam die, it will leave a major vacuum at the top of the terror group.
