The head of the Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc in Lebanon, Member of Parliament Mohammad Raad, affirmed that the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon has not yet utilized all its weapons, stating that "the weapons of the great war have not yet been unleashed."

During a commemorative event in the town of Kfar Melki in South Lebanon, Raad emphasized that the Israeli enemy withdrew its forces in May 2000 only after facing non-stop Resistance operations. He added that the Resistance is determined to confront Israeli aggression and prevent the implementation of its agenda aimed at violating Lebanon's sovereignty.

Raad explained that the Resistance adheres to "precise equations of deterrence imposed on the Israeli occupation, which attempts to evade the requirements of the status quo but cannot annul them."

"When you are strong in facing the Israeli enemy and have the means to demonstrate this capability, the other side will surrender, not the other way around," Raad highlighted.

He said that "Israel" is not expanding the war into Lebanon because it is being forced to do so by the Resistance, which has underlined clear responses to breaches in the rules of engagement. 

"Deviating from these rules would lead to a major catastrophe," the Hezbollah MP stressed.

Raad said that Israeli officials have developed a fear complex in response to the presence of Hezbollah in Lebanon, saying that such feelings prevail among Israelis.

Regarding the United States' support for the Israeli occupation's war on Gaza, Raad stated that the "Americans [encouraged] Israelis to violate [all red lines] in Gaza," adding that the criminal Israeli regime is now "unleashing" an unprecedented aggression on the Gaza Strip. He then put in juxtaposition the situation in Gaza and the situation in Lebanon, rhetorically asking, "Why can't they do the same in Lebanon?"

He emphasized that the Resistance in Lebanon "does not hope for war but is always ready to face it, and the Israeli enemy knows that the consequences would be severe."

The head of the Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc declared that the Resistance is ready to confront the enemy if it made any miscalculations and attempts to breach the deterrence imposed by the Resistance.

"We exercise patience to avoid a devastating open war, [...] where the ultimate loser and [the one that will suffer a strategic loss] would be the Zionist enemy," Raad underscored.

Hezbollah fighters have been engaged in wide-scale operations covering the entirety of the area near the Lebanese-Palestinian border, launching attacks on Israeli occupation sites and forces since October 8. Through these operations, the Resistance has affirmed its unwavering support to the Palestinian people and their Resistance in the Gaza Strip, who face an unprecedented Israeli aggression that has killed more than 30,000 people and wounded more than double the number. 

Recently, Israeli forces have escalated their actions in violation of Lebanon's sovereignty attempting to infiltrate the border, near the town of Rmeish. Hezbollah fighters successfully discovered and thwarted the failed infiltration on Sunday midnight, dealing direct hits to two different forces within an hour and forcing the invaders to retreat.
