Qassem: Resistance to continue no matter the sacrifices
Hezbollah chief Sheikh Naim Qassem said Tuesday that Hezbollah is in a position of "legitimate defense" in the battle against Israel, "defending the land, rejecting surrender, and protecting the nation's existence and independence."
"The high level of preparation for the battle was characterized by the ambiguity surrounding our capabilities, their limits, and their deployment, the lack of need for fixed positions, and the flexibility for resistance fighters to move from anywhere in Lebanon to the front lines to engage the enem," Qassem said in a letter to Hezbollah's fighters.
He said that Hezbollah achieved a "surprise" by "thwarting the enemy's surprise attack, knowing their aggressive plan, and preparing to counter it."
"The only available solution is to stop the aggression, withdraw from the occupied territories, release the prisoners, and allow the residents of the villages and cities to return to their homes, along with the commencement of reconstruction. We are capable of achieving this," Qassem added.
"The resistance will continue on the field of honor, no matter the sacrifices, and the battlefield will ultimately decide the outcome," he stressed.
