In a statement delivered via Al-Manar, Sheikh Qassem stressed that there is no ceasefire in Lebanon, but rather an ongoing Israeli-US aggression.
He highlighted that the resistance group employs hit-and-run tactics to prevent the enemy from establishing a foothold.
The Hezbollah S.G. set four factors that help Lebanon get through this stage: Continued resistance, internal understanding, leveraging the US-Iranian agreement and taking advantage of any international or regional move that puts pressure on the enemy.
Sheikh Qassem hailed resistance fighters whom his eminence said “are building a glorious future”. He paid tribute to “resilient, displaced, and supportive people, who have set a high standard of patriotism and sacrifice”.
The Hezbollah S.G. started his statement by warning that the region enters a critical phase, as the Zionist enemy escalates its aggression with direct US backing and coordination.
“The resistance, its people, and its supporters continue to stand firm despite limited numbers and modest capabilities, facing what they describe as overwhelming oppression. They continue to offer martyrs in profound sacrifice, obstruct the enemy from achieving its objectives, and maintain their steadfastness and continuity. They affirm that resilience is what shapes the future of their country, its generations, and the wider region alongside their allies, toward a future defined by dignity, honor, and independence”.
His eminence stressed that there is no ceasefire in Lebanon, but rather an ongoing Israeli-US aggression.
“No words can adequately condemn the targeting of civilians, villages, and towns, the destruction of homes, and the killing of children, women, men, and the elderly. We will persevere and resist, and God Almighty is with us”.
Sheikh Qassem affirmed that Lebanon is the party which needs guarantees to its security as it is under attack.
“As for the Israeli enemy’s claim that it seeks security for its settlements in northern occupied Palestine, it achieved this through Lebanon’s strict implementation of the November 27, 2024 agreement for fifteen months. However, the Israeli enemy did not implement a single provision of the agreement, violating it more than ten thousand times, killing five hundred civilians, wounding hundreds, destroying thousands of homes and livelihoods, and displacing people from their villages—all because it has not achieved any progress toward a so-called “Greater Israel”, and it never will, even if all the world’s most monstrous criminals join forces with it”.
