“For those who claim that our support for Gaza gave Israel a motive to attack Lebanon, no, Israel does not need that,” said Naïm Qassem, the new number 1 of Hezbollah, on November 20, during a speech. “We accepted the Biden-Macron proposal on September 23 (date of the start of Israeli ground operations, Editor’s note) thinking that a solution could be found to put an end to the aggression. But they assassinated our general secretary on September 27 and this battle continued.”
A refusal of a ceasefire from Tel Aviv “could create 100 problems”

The resistance fights him wherever he advances to inflict losses”.

Hezbollah Secretary General Says “Resistance has the capacity to continue this pace for a long period of time. »
