Hezbollah remains undeterred despite several threats targeted at the Resistance groups by Western officials and through Arab mediators, according to its Deputy Secretary General Naim Qassem.
The severity of the attack launched on Israeli-occupied territories has only increased since the US transferred two nuclear-powered aircraft carriers to the Eastern Mediterranean and the USS Bataan to the Red Sea.
