Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem stressed on June 28 that the group would not lay down its arms while Israel continued attacking Lebanon.
In a speech, the leader said that a ceasefire with Israel would impose responsibilities on the state, but Hezbollah was prepared in the face of Israel’s continued attacks.
“Who in their right mind would give up their power? We will not give up our power while Israel continues its attacks,” he said, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency.
Qassem added that recent Israeli strikes on civilians in the southern town of Nabatieh are unacceptable and the state must do its part to deal with the situation. He was referring to an attack that killed a woman and wounded 11 other people. Israel said that the incident was caused by secondary blasts from a nearby underground base of Hezbollah that was bombed by its air force.
The leader also emphasized that the Lebanese resistance group would not remain silent in the face of repeated Israeli attacks.
“Do you think we will remain silent forever? That is not true. You have already tried us, and we have no choice but our honor,” he said.
Israel strikes have reportedly killed more than 180 members of Hezbollah since a ceasefire with Lebanon brokered by the United States came into effect on November 27.
On June 28 alone, Israel said that it killed two members of Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. The first was identified as Hassan Mohammad Hamoudi, the commander of the group’s anti-tank missile unit in the Bint Jbeil area, while the second was identified as Abbas al-Hassan Wahbi, chief of intelligence in a battalion of the elite Radwan Force.
In addition to its neverending attacks, Israel has refused to completely withdraw from southern Lebanon as called for by the ceasefire agreement, keeping troops at five strategic posts in the region.
With the end of the Israeli attack on Iran, the main backer of Hezbollah, Qassem began to face more pressure from other political parties in Lebanon, including former allies of the group.
In recent days, Lebanese Druze leader and former head of the Progressive Socialist Party, Walid Jumblatt, leader of the Christian Free Patriotic Movement, Gebran Bassil, and leader of the Christian Lebanese Forces Party, Samir Geagea, all stated that weapons should only be in the hands of the state.
Qassem’s remarks indicate that Hezbollah will not bend. However, Israel could take advantage of the situation to justify renewing the war on Lebanon.

future historians will conclude that zionism is pure terrorism, judaism is satanism and israel is an insult to humanity…once the zionist jews reveal their demonic plan to plunge our world backwards. endless support for zionism is the downfall of the west, i promise. you will see it with your own eyes this lifetime
future historians will conclude that the arabian militaries have been getting their asses kicked since the middle of the 20th century. and that because of corruption, bribery, clans and fedual tribalism. israel has been able to make a totally mockery of them. also historians will comment how staring in oct 7th how israel has buried all of their enemies under a ton of rubble. and before the year 2025 ends, there will be no one left standing but israel.
you are burying yourselves under rubble too. you just do not know it yet. you just do not have what it takes to keep a civilization. never have. never will. that is your fate.
the fear of mossad is the beginning of wisdom
the jewish supremacist enclave in palestine exists only because of the political influence wielded by jewish financial power. this goes back to rothschild and balfour, through the bribery of the parties voting on partition, to control of truman, right up through aipac, not to mention the blackmail program from the days of lansky, right up through maxwell and epstein.
the problem with israel is that they are willing to take down the world with them in case of total defeat. see samson option. they have icbm’s programmed to strike major cities in europe and even their favorite shabbos country: america.
no, they havent 😂 try to understand how witch burning and psychopaths works, it performs a mental death. they are to a great part reduced to rubble, no “nuclear weapon” out of the rubble yet. so it goes when you believe mad germans, imported to “us”, with a moon made of plaster of paris 😂
israel is winning, hezbollah are losers they just need full-body 6-hour asbeatings to help them understand it gooder, and israel is happy to oblige. some people, you just can’t reach. its really harsh and cruel when you have to physically step on a guy’s balls and wail on his melon with a night stick, but, whatever it takes to get the information in there.
like the masterclass taught in the warsaw ghetto? good times.
ending support from christianity will do the trick. still, russia are little to nice towards the mass murdering germans occupying palestine, and towards the source to it all; “us” and christianity. as i remember, the german colony in palestine was blessed by russia. maybe the strange relation between nazis and zionism was not known, maybe they had not read the whole bible ? different bible in west ?
hezbollah talks tough, but give a few weeks or about two months at the most, and they will be capitulating like the syrian president, agreeing to cede land for peace. unlike the incompetent russians that is still allowing zelensky and his family to walk around after three years of warfare. the israelis know how to kill their opponents leadership to take them down. by the end of this year, the jews will have everyone in the region bowing down to them!
even the pussy russians when the israelis caused their reconissance plane to be shot down in syria, had to submit and take a knee to israel. and begged unsuccessfully for the united states not to defend israel, so that russian jets could be free to strike the airbase where the israeli jet originated from. i remember after a unsuccessful phone call from bibi to poo-tin. israeli newspapers stated bibi mockingly said our elite special forces could easily defeat the russians stationed in tartus.
israel was created by british goyim. you could not do it on your own. your fake god was nowhere to be found between 1930-1945. i can tell you something very simple. for over 2000 years, jews have zero experience in building a civilized society. you have been imbreeding gypsies with no morals. no wonder why you struggle to behave like normal humans and why israel is a demented society.
in the end they all fall to the lion of judah…go ask assad in his moscow apartment!
heheheh
eleven years of assault on the syrian state by the us empire. jewish supremacists are little monkeys riding on an elephant.
lebanon was reportedly working on shutting them down.
presumably the christian militias will not be required to disarm. hezbollah appears to be practicing the seemingly common arab tendency to pretend that they are winning while all the world sees them as losing nor is “only the state having a monopoly on violence” in the least admirable given so many such “leaders’ ” propensity to inflict it without cause.
no question, the jewish supremacists in their organized crime enclave in palestine have inflicted state violence without cause for most of a century.
hezb. needs to go on another big joo hunt. there is no closed season on the jooz.
the betrayal of afghanistan had disastrous consequences for biden, and i hope the betrayal of syria will be even worse for putin.
the betrayal of the united states by jewish supremacists seems likely to produce disastrous consequences.
what are those morons thinking, only weapons should be in the hands of the state, what a fucking joke, where was the state in 2006 if not for hezbollah the zionists would be drinking beer on the corniche, anyone asking hezbollah to disarm at this time are traitors it’s that simple.
at least this one did not die 1st day like those previous clowns
