The Media Relations Department of Hezbollah has categorically denied the claims broadcast by Al-Arabiya and Al-Hadath channels, which falsely alleged that Hezbollah was preparing for a confrontation with the Lebanese state.
In an official statement, the department affirmed that these reports are completely baseless, fabricated, and detached from reality, describing them as inventions serving suspicious agendas aimed at sowing confusion and destabilizing Lebanon.
“These claims are entirely untrue and born of the imagination of these channels,” the statement read, emphasizing that such disinformation is designed to mislead public opinion and provoke internal tensions during an already critical period.
Hezbollah urged all media outlets to disregard these fabrications and avoid using them as a foundation for analysis or commentary. It further stressed the importance of relying on official sources within the Islamic Resistance to obtain accurate information about the movement’s positions and evaluations regarding ongoing developments.
Hezbollah preserves Lebanese unity
Hezbollah has consistently emphasized the importance of internal awareness and national unity, urging the Lebanese people to reject sectarian incitement and disinformation campaigns.
The movement regularly calls for restraint, dialogue, and solidarity, warning against attempts to ignite internal strife and reaffirming its commitment to preserving Lebanon’s stability through unity across all communities.
In a recent speech, Sheikh Naim Qassem, the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, reiterated trust in the Lebanese government, urging against "betting on disagreements with the three presidents," referring to Joseph Aoun, Nawam Salam, and Nabih Berri, "who possess the wisdom and awareness of dangers needed to steer the country through its crises."
