Hezbollah strongly condemned the Israeli occupation's renewed military assault on Gaza, denouncing it as a "war of extermination" targeting Palestinian civilians, including women and children, amid a severe blockade and humanitarian crisis.
In a statement, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government of reneging on the ceasefire agreement and reigniting hostilities with full US backing amid "shameful international silence."
Hezbollah asserted that the Israeli occupation and the US were "two sides of the same coin," driven by destruction and bloodshed, and accused Washington of destabilizing the region through its support for Israeli military aggression in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen.
Reaffirming its unwavering support for the Palestinian resistance and the people of Gaza, Hezbollah called on Arab and Islamic nations, as well as global human rights organizations, to expose US-Israeli complicity in the genocide being carried out against Palestinians. The Resistance urged urgent international action to halt the ongoing atrocities.
Hezbollah emphasized that despite 15 months of relentless warfare, the Israeli regime has failed to break the Palestinian resistance and would not succeed in erasing the Palestinian cause or displacing its people. It concluded by reiterating that Palestine remains the central cause of the Arab and Islamic world, with Gaza standing as a symbol of resilience and steadfastness.
Genocide resumes
After a fragile ceasefire that lasted roughly two months, "Israel" has resumed its aggression on Gaza with intense airstrikes, resulting in an initial toll of 404 martyrs, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
In a statement, Hamas said, "The claims made by the [Israeli] occupation regarding preparations by the Resistance to launch an attack on its forces are baseless and are merely false pretexts to justify its return to war and escalate its bloody aggression."
The Palestinian group accused "Israel" of "attempting to mislead public opinion and fabricate false justifications to cover up its premeditated decision to resume its genocidal campaign against defenseless civilians, disregarding any commitments it made."
"Hamas adhered to the agreement until the very last moment and was committed to its continuation," the statement stressed, adding that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, "seeking a way out of his internal crises, preferred to reignite the war at the cost of our people's blood."
