Hezbollah 'to speak its mind on the battlefield': Sheikh Qassem
On Tuesday, Hezbollah's Deputy Secretary-General, Sheikh Naim Qassem, said 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 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.
