Chairman of Hezbollah's Executive Council, Sayyed Hashem Safieddine, warned the Israeli regime that they would experience the effects of the resistance's arsenal of precision missiles in action if they ever decide to commit any "foolish actions."

The symbolic drills conducted by Hezbollah fighters simulated an offensive operation and the capture of Israeli soldiers, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported, noting that the simulated drill employed Hezbollah's drone forces.

The Islamic Resistance official announced that the intended message of the drills was to communicate the Resistance's readiness to confront any aggression to maintain the deterrence equation with the Israeli enemy.

"Despite all the political pressures and the economic sanctions, the Resistance has not been exhausted nor attrited," the chairman noted. 

"[We] have observed the enemy's inability to solidify new rules of engagement in the battle of Avenging the Free. let the Israelis know that if they ever think about expanding their circle of aggression, the Resistance is ready to rain down on the enemy what is beyond its capacity to deter."

Safieddine invited the Lebanese people to remain reassured and confident that the resistance is capable of protecting them. Furthermore, Safieddine reaffirmed Hezbollah's determination to liberate all Lebanese territories from Israeli occupation.

"Our resistance fighters will remain armed until complete victory is realized."

"Wagers on the international community are destined to disappoint," the chairman noted; what liberates Palestine and Palestinian resources is "force and a prosperous resistance". 

He added that there is no more noble cause than unifying our resistance to rid our people of the oppression perpetrated against them. 

The chairman affirmed that the former commander of the Resistance's military council martyr Imad Mughnieh will remain to be remembered as a revolutionary fighter, despite the West's efforts to portray him as a terrorist. 

He carried on saying that the axis of resistance will persist and will prosper "from Gaza to the West Bank to the 48 Palestinian territories and Lebanon, all the way to the Islamic Republic of Iran."
