BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.
Sheikh Qassem: The government’s latest decision [on the disarmament of the Resistance] is non-charter-based, and if the government continues down this path, it is not faithful to Lebanon’s sovereignty.

Hezbollah's Deputy Secretary-General, Sheikh Naim Qassem, said on Tuesday that the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon would not hesitate in an 'eye for an eye' retaliation battle against "Israel" if it expands aggression on Lebanon. 

His comments came in response to the Israeli military’s Northern Command Major General, Ori Gordin, who announced plans to expand the aggression against Lebanon. 

Sheikh Naim Qassem affirmed that the Resistance is highly prepared to counter any expansion in aggression, emphasizing that it is most ready to support Gaza until the Israeli aggression on the Strip ceases. 

In his speech during the memorial ceremony of three martyrs from the southern Lebanese village of Blida, Sheikh Qassem said Hezbollah is not concerned with any Israeli statement regarding a ground invasion of Lebanon, be it an exaggeration or a declaration. 

He stressed that the Resistance remains defensive, supportive, and determined to defy "Israel", affirming that it will not be intimidated. 

“The Lebanese Resistance will speak its mind on the battlefield… This is our equation, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth,” he said.

'Israel' lost its deterrent power

Israeli media confirmed that Hezbollah fired dozens of rockets toward occupied al-Jalil and the Golan earlier today.

Describing it as the largest since October 8, Israeli media revealed that "a salvo of about 100 rockets were fired at Israel this morning," detailing that it came in two batches consecutively, 70 rockets in the first, and then 30 in the second.  

Israeli media said that the operation was in response to the aggression on Baalbek last night.

Simultaneously, sirens sounded in the northern Golan, al-Ghajar, and Ain Qenya.

Commenting on the attack, the Regional Council in the Upper al-Jalil said, “Curved missiles were launched toward the Golan region, followed by another salvo of rockets fired from Lebanon toward the Golan.”

On his part, the head of the Supreme al-Jalil Council said, following the attack, “Israel” has lost its deterrent power and has failed to restore it."
