Israel will soon be expelled from ‘every inch’ of Lebanese territory: Hezbollah chief

Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem has expressed confidence that Israel will be expelled from Lebanese territory as the regime’s project to eliminate the resistance group has failed.

Addressing the Central Ashura Council ceremony in Beirut on Friday, Sheikh Qassem said that the Israeli regime has failed to defeat the resistance group’s “convictions and steadfastness.”

“The enemy has not defeated our convictions, our steadfastness, our perseverance, or our continued presence in the field, and we endure all hardships and sanctions.”

He said that the principles guiding the resistance group “are among the noblest values on earth.”

“We do not fear death, and this is an essential component of victory,” he said, adding that “when the enemy confronts us with weapons, we confront it with weapons.”

Sheikh Qassem said resistance itself is a form of victory, arguing that “every step in which we reject occupation is a victory.”

The leader said, “The death with which the enemy threatens us as a weapon is not a weapon.

“Even if none of us remained, under the pretext that there is a threat of death, for us, we are fulfilling our duty, and therefore we do not fear death.”
