BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.
Sheikh Qassem: The government’s latest decision [on the disarmament of the Resistance] is non-charter-based, and if the government continues down this path, it is not faithful to Lebanon’s sovereignty.

On the 18th anniversary of the victory in the July 2006 War, Hezbollah reaffirmed its commitment to resistance against the Israeli occupation and its unwavering support for the Palestinian cause.

In a statement issued to commemorate the occasion, Hezbollah recalled the "great July War" as a turning point in the struggle against the Israeli occupation, taking the opportunity to laud the heroism and sacrifices of those who fought against "Israel".

Hezbollah highlighted the impact of the 33-day war on the Israeli occupation, noting that despite overwhelming military force and international support, the Israeli occupation failed to achieve its objectives, resulting in a lasting psychological and strategic setback. The statement stressed that the victory solidified Hezbollah's position as a formidable force, one that the Israeli occupation and its allies must consider seriously.

The statement also underscored Hezbollah's resolve to prevent any future occupation of Lebanese territory and to resist normalization efforts with the occupation. Hezbollah paid tribute to the new generations of fighters who continue to uphold the values of Resistance, strengthened by education and an unwavering commitment to defending Lebanon.

The Islamic Resistance framed the current geopolitical shifts in the region, including the recent Operation al-Aqsa Flood, as part of a broader resistance movement. The organization reiterated its support for the Palestinian people and pledged to continue defending Lebanon against any threats, with the promise that it would fulfill its commitments with "courage, wisdom, and strength."

Iran hails Lebanese victory

Iran has marked the 18th anniversary of Lebanon's victory in the 2006 July War, asserting that the 33-day battle with "Israel" has become a symbol of Resistance against the Zionist entity.

In a statement on Tuesday, Iran’s Foreign Ministry congratulated the people, government, army, and Resistance of Lebanon, especially Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, on the 18th anniversary of the "glorious victory" achieved by the Lebanese Islamic Resistance during the 33-day war in 2006.

“The 33-day war became a symbol of the resilience and strength of the Lebanese people against the Zionist regime and will always be remembered as a great victory in the minds of the people in the region,” the ministry said in a statement.

“August 23rd, the Day of Islamic Resistance, as described by the wise leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, is ‘a day when the Resistance and Hezbollah restored dignity to the Arab and Islamic world.’ With the collapse of the Zionist regime’s hollow dominance, the robust tree of resistance against the Zionist occupiers and aggressors has grown stronger and more resilient,” the statement added.

The ministry asserted that the "brilliant victory" of the Islamic Resistance, achieved through the unity and solidarity of Lebanon's diverse sects and the collective resolve of its courageous and resilient people, has "ensured stability and security" while bringing pride and honor to both the Lebanese people and the region, especially to the Resistance front against the Israeli occupation.
