Hezbollah warns Israeli enemy of its ambitions in Lebanon, affirming readiness for confrontation

BEIRUT, Mar. 30 (YPA) – Hezbollah Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem confirmed on Saturday that Israel is placing Lebanon, particularly its southern region, on its annexation list, whether through settlement or resettlement.

Qassem emphasized that the resistance has succeeded in preventing the Israeli occupation from achieving its goals, forcing it to cease fire.

In his remarks, Qassem emphasized that the Lebanese state’s responsibility extends beyond diplomatic action at specific moments to confront repeated Israeli attacks. He affirmed Hezbollah’s full commitment to the agreements, even as Israel continues its daily attacks on Lebanese territory.

Sheikh Qassem pointed out that what the Israeli enemy is doing is not merely a violation, but rather an ongoing aggression that has crossed all boundaries. He added that the Israeli justifications are meaningless, calling on the Lebanese state to confront this escalation, emphasizing that time is still available to address the situation through political and diplomatic channels.

Qassem warned that “if Israel does not commit to halting its violations, and if the Lebanese state does not fulfill its required role, the resistance will have no choice but to resort to other options.” He stressed that the occupation would not achieve what it wants through military pressure or the temporary occupation of certain border points.

In another context, Qassem noted that Hezbollah and the Amal Movement had achieved a qualitative accomplishment by pushing for the election of a president and completing the formation of the government, while emphasizing their commitment to building the state. He also denied the accusations directed at Hezbollah regarding the situation inside Syria and its borders, asserting that these accusations were false.

Sheikh Qassem concluded his remarks by emphasizing that “the resistance will not stand idly by if the Israeli aggression devolves into killing, destruction, and occupation.” He added that “Hezbollah will not allow anyone to strip Lebanon of its land, sovereignty, and dignity.”
