Sheikh Naim Qassem: Israel cannot stay in southern Lebanon Secretary-General of Hezbollah in Lebanon: We see the liberation of southern Lebanon before our eyes; Israel cannot stay in the south forever, and the resistance has created a myth with its steadfastness.

Israel will not be able to stay in southern Lebanon. Don't ask what we are going to do: nothing can be done except to continue the resistance as long as the enemy is there, until he leaves. They tell us to give something to the enemy so that he leaves - we will not give anything, because we are the ones being attacked." In his speech, Qassem also congratulated the Iraqis for having succeeded in "driving the American occupier out of Iraq," through their efforts and sacrifices. @InbarYuval

Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem The liberation of southern Lebanon is before our very eyes, and the enemy entity will not be able to remain in southern Lebanon. This resistance, which has persevered with its fighters and its people, has been able to present a legend of steadfastness throughout this entire period of continuous aggression, especially in the last two years. The solution begins with the enemy's humiliating withdrawal, along with the Americans who support it in order to attack our region. Do not ask us about other solutions.
Secretary General of Hezbollah in Lebanon: We will see the liberation of southern Lebanon with our own eyes, and Israel can never remain in the south, even for a short time. @Farsna [in reply to: Secretary General of Hezbollah in Lebanon: The Ashura Jihad was one of the intellectual principles of martyr Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah Sheikh Naeem Qassem at the opening of the office for the preservation and publication of Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah's works: If we want to define the resistance in the contemporary era, we must say that the first figure of the resistance is Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah, because he was the founder of defense and resistance and cooperated with all resistance groups in the world to create unity and interaction.

Sheikh Naim Qassem: Keeping the secrets of the battle led to the enemy's complete surprise Secretary-General of Hezbollah in Lebanon: Stabilizing and preserving a geographical area at any cost is not the main focus of the resistance operation; rather, the fundamental goal is to strike the enemy, prevent the occupation from stabilizing, and prepare the ground for the complete liberation of the land based on field requirements. This operational method is pursued with a careful assessment of the situation, a spirit of martyrdom, intelligent planning, and a simultaneous effort to protect the lives of the people and preserve national assets. Tactical secrecy and non-disclosure of military achievements and capabilities are part of the resistance's basic strategy in conducting the battle. 15 months of patience and lack of haste in escalating tensions eventually led to comprehensive readiness and surprising the enemy. nournews.ir @Nournews_IR
Sheikh Naim Qassem: Surrender to the occupiers means the realization of the Greater Israel plan Secretary-General of Hezbollah in Lebanon:
Resistance is not the cause of war and aggression, but rather a direct consequence of the enemy's aggression; therefore, any criticism and targeting should be directed at the aggressor, not the resistance movement. The only way to contain the enemy is to stand firm and create gradual deterrence. Accepting surrender to the Zionist regime does not mean stopping the war, but rather the end of peaceful coexistence in Lebanon, accepting the American mandate, and paving the way for the implementation of the "Greater Israel" plan and expanding settlements.
