The head of Hezbollah's Loyalty to the Resistance parliamentary Bloc said that the Israeli occupation will inevitably meet its demise, declaring that the entity is in a state of decline and that "we are in the stage preceding that of victory."

In an event commemorating the martyred commanders of Hezbollah in the Lebanese village of Jebshit, MP Mohammad Raad said that day after day, the entity is revealing its racism and inability to coexist with humans.

Saluting the fallen leaders, Raad assured that their legacy is alive with thousands of Resistance fighters who are still confronting the Israeli occupation and protecting the country.

Addressing the recent Israeli aggressions on southern Lebanon, which led to the martyrdom of a number of civilians, including children and women, Raad stressed that the pain inflicted by Israelis on the Lebanese people will be reciprocated and that the Resistance will "hit the enemy where it hurts."

"[We] are a resolved and powerful nation in facing the enemy," he told attendees.

Response is inevitable

The Israeli occupation launched on Wednesday a series of strikes targeting several villages and cities in southern Lebanon, Souaneh, Adshit, Chehabiyeh, and later at night the city of Nabatiyeh.

The large-scale aggression resulted in the martyrdom of 11 civilians, including at least 4 children and 3 women, and the wounding of others. Three of the martyrs were a mother and two of her children - aged 12 and 6 months - who were killed in a strike on their home in Souaneh, leading to its destruction.

The head of Hezbollah's Executive Council stressed on Wednesday that the Israeli attacks will not go unanswered and a response is inevitable.

"There will surely be a response and it will be of the required level,” Sayyed Hashem Safi al-Din vowed.
