Sheikh Qassem: Time to 'hurt the enemy', Hezbollah capabilities intact

“Lebanon cannot be separated from Palestine, nor can the region be separated from Palestine," Hezbollah Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem emphasized.

In a televised speech on Tuesday, he affirmed that "Sayyed Nasrallah has not left us, as we have fighters conducting battles through his will and his people continue to stand strong out of love for him."

"Our trust that we will be victorious knows no bounds," he said

In his speech, Sheikh Qassem discussed the broader dimensions of the ongoing war and the Israeli occupation’s plans for the region, underscoring that "Operation Al-Aqsa Flood came after 75 years of occupation, which makes it a legitimate right."

He then explained that the "Al-Aqsa Flood was aimed at delivering a message to the world after more than 75 years of occupation, massacres, and assaults."

"Our [Resistance] support for Palestinians is a support for justice; as they have been wronged, as such, we are capping the Israeli expansionist project by doing so," he said.

He addressed those talking about the damage Lebanon has suffered, by saying, "Who is causing it? Is it not the aggression? Is the person defending [the land] causing this destruction?"

Sheikh Qassem explained that the [Israeli] occupation only left Lebanon because of the Resistance, asserting that "our country lies within the scope of Israel's expansionist project."

He stressed that "Israel" as an occupation represents a significant danger to both the region and the global community and that it is "an expansionist occupation that does not stop at Palestine."

Sheikh Qassem further revealed that Hezbollah "was asked to put an end to the war and move more than 10 km from the border so as not to provoke Israel, yet, we still insisted on a ceasefire in Gaza."

He continued, "We did not respond to their request to separate Lebanon from Gaza, as the current project is expansionist."

Sheikh Qassem further made several notes throughout his speech and reaffirmed that the Resistance has not been defeated and cannot be defeated as the battlefield has clearly proven.
