Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem has pledged that the group’s “resistance continues as long as there is breath”.
In a statement released by the Lebanese group on Friday, Qassem claimed: “The Israeli enemy was defeated on the ground and was unable to carry out a ground invasion.
“The enemy, in all its aggression, has not succeeded in preventing the missiles.”
He re-emphasised Hezbollah’s stance on the ongoing Israeli attacks, stating: “We will not accept a return to the previous situation,” and called on nations to “stop making free concessions” for Israel.
