  • Hezbollah cooperating with army in south Lebanon: Fadlallah

Hassan Fadlallah, an MP from Hezbollah's Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc in the Lebanese Parliament, said Wednesday that the party was working with the army's deployment across south Lebanon under the parameters of a ceasefire with "Israel," maintaining that "there will be no problem."

His comments from the border town of Bint Jbeil came as tens of thousands of Lebanese returned home after a truce between the Israeli occupation and Hezbollah went into effect before morning.

In response to an AFP query concerning Hezbollah fighters withdrawing north of the Litani River in compliance with the truce, Fadlallah stated that the subject was "linked to Lebanese state measures and strengthening the army presence."

"There is full cooperation on this issue and there will be no problem there," he stressed.

Prime Minister Najib Mikati stated that the army will strengthen its presence in the south, while the Lebanese Army revealed it has begun "reinforcing its presence in the South Litani sector and extending the state's authority in coordination with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL)."

Fadlallah emphasized how Hezbollah is not a regular army and revealed it has "no visible weapons or bases" in the south.

"Hezbollah's people are the people of these villages and towns, and most of the dead are from these villages," according to the MP, who stressed that "nobody can make residents leave their villages."

He reiterated that Hezbollah did not want a broader war and that "Israel" launched the aggression on Lebanon after the resistance movement "set up a support front (for Gaza) in a narrow area.

He underlined that "Israel" was not the victor of the war, detailing how despite its threats to destroy the resistance, Hezbollah remains present in all Lebanese regions, particularly in the "south of the Litani," as it prevents the occupation from "realizing any objectives in Lebanon."

Fadlallah warned that Hezbollah would respond to any violations of the truce, stressing that "when our country is attacked, we will not sit idly by." 

Fadlallah: 'Israel' failed to force Hezbollah's hand

Speaking to Al Mayadeen on Tuesday, Fadlallah stated that Lebanon has successfully resisted the occupation's attempts to dictate political conditions, adding, "We are not exaggerating when we say that steadfastness forced the Israeli enemy to seek a ceasefire."

He remarked, "We are in a critical and sensitive night, but the occupation will not have the upper hand."

Regarding the situation on the ground, Fadlallah underlined that all Israeli objectives have collapsed at the gates of Khiam, Kafr Kila, and other Lebanese villages. He affirmed that despite the advanced technology at its disposal, the occupation's military failed to halt Resistance operations south of the Litani River. He noted that these operations continue to focus on Israeli military installations and are conducted from within that region.

Commenting on Lebanon's achievements in both politics and on the battlefield, Fadlallah said, "The moment the occupation halts its aggression on Lebanon, it will mark a major victory for Lebanon and its people." While acknowledging the high cost paid, he asserted that these sacrifices have prevented the occupation from achieving its goals.

Fadlallah argued that victory is measured by achieving objectives, regardless of the rhetoric used by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He emphasized that the Resistance is securing a historic accomplishment for Lebanon and the region, demonstrating to "Israel" that this is not 1948 or 1967.

As Lebanese patriots, Fadlallah said, "Our fundamental role is to remain steadfast and prevent the enemy from achieving its goals." He added, "The enemy may spread fear among civilians, but the Resistance leadership is resolute in confronting it to the very end."
