Hezbollah is "stronger and more resilient than steel" and "more powerful than ever before, as witnessed by the enemy," affirmed Wafiq Safa, head of Hezbollah's Coordination and Liaison Unit.

In his first media appearance after the war on Lebanon, Safa stated that Hezbollah is "ready for all challenges," and "will stand with the people, behind them, and on the ground" to rebuild what was destroyed during the Israeli aggression.

During a tour in the southern suburbs of Beirut, specifically at the site where Hezbollah's former Secretary-General martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was assassinated by "Israel", Safa stressed that the group will be "involved in every aspect" that impacts the morale of the people.

He added, "We have always stood and will continue to stand with the people of resistance, protecting them from any harm internally, and there will be no possibility for anyone to break our morale," reassuring everyone that there is no need for concern.

Regarding whether Hezbollah will respond to Israeli violations, Safa revealed that Hezbollah's capabilities have been restored and that the group has the ability to confront any aggression in the manner it deems appropriate.

He added that what happens after the 60-day period designated for the withdrawal of the Israeli occupation forces from Lebanon "is up to Hezbollah and its leadership."

Safa also noted that Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri will engage with US mediator Amos Hochstein regarding the Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement.

On the subject of electing a new Lebanese president, Safa asserted that Hezbollah does not veto the nomination of Lebanese Army Commander Joseph Aoun for the presidency but that of the leader of the Lebanese Forces party Samir Geagea, whose "project is destructive to Lebanon."

Concerning the funeral of martyr Sayyed Nasrallah, Safa revealed that the ceremony will take place in the Southern Suburb after the 60-day period.

Elsewhere, he emphasized that martyr Sayyed Nasrallah's "presence is embodied in the resistance, its fighters, and the people of resistance."

Hezbollah fighters remained true to their principles, fulfilled their duty: Hamas official

Speaking from the same site, senior Hamas official Raafat Marra reaffirmed the movement’s commitment to the right of resistance and the people's right to liberation, stressing that anyone who believes the resistance has been defeated and is over is "deluded".

Marra stressed that Hezbollah's Resistance fighters have remained true to their principles and fulfilled their duty, extending greetings on behalf of all Palestinians to Lebanon, its people, and all those who have supported Palestine.

The Hamas official said that the enemies have sought to dismantle the resistance in an attempt to undermine its decision-making power, launching a genocide in Gaza with the complicity of some nations. However, despite the pain, they have failed, he said.

Marra emphasized that the resistance is steadfast, present, and continues to pursue its goals. He pointed out that Operation Al-Aqsa Flood has caused inevitable fractures within the Israeli occupation entity, asserting that the region will never experience peace until the occupation is extracted.
