The secretary-general of Hezbollah resistance movement says Israel agreed to ceasefire with Lebanon only after suffering heavy blows from the resistance’s steadfast fighters.
Speaking in a live interview with Lebanon’s Al-Manar channel, Sheikh Naim Qassem said the resistance’s ability to strike the residence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu demonstrated its power to reach deep into the heart of the regime. He said during the war with Israel, Hezbollah only targeted the regime’s military bases, despite having the capability to strike anywhere across the occupied territories. Sheikh Qassem vowed Hezbollah will never stop resistance against Israel. He warned that if the regime’s forces remain on the Lebanese soil, they would be confronted by Hezbollah as well as the Lebanese army and people. He emphasized that while Hezbollah’s principles remain unchanged after the ceasefire agreement, its strategies and approaches have evolved. Sheikh Qassem added that the movement is assessing what happened in the war with Israel to learn from it and adjust its future tactics in confrontation with the occupying enemy.
