Naim Qasim, Deputy Secretary-General of Hezbollah, urged Saudi Arabia to open a new chapter with the resistance axis in a statement made during the reporting window between September 19th, 2025, 11:05:55 PM UTC and September 20th, 2025, 2:05:36 AM UTC. Qasim's appeal was disseminated via the social media platform X by user @Columbuos. This call follows earlier reports from September 19th, 2025, detailing an Israeli naval vessel attacked off the coast of Nakura, an action the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) labeled a violation of existing understandings. The IDF also reported eliminating two Hezbollah operatives, including Amar Hayal Hatzivani, commander of the "Sunday complex," during strikes in southern Lebanon. These events occurred amidst heightened tensions and increased activity along the border. Earlier on September 19th, 2025, Hezbollah conducted a military display in Beirut, commemorating the anniversary of Ibrahim Aqil's elimination. Initial reports suggested Hezbollah members participating in the display were unarmed. Unconfirmed reports also emerged of Hezbollah forces penetrating southern towns and observing an Israeli shift, though specifics were not detailed.
