Hezbollah’s first video statement after Hassan Nasrallah’s killing. Hezbollah's Deputy Secretary General Naim Qassem issues a statement. Qassem: I speak to you in the most heartbreaking, painful times of my life. Qassem: IDF is lying, there was no meeting of Hezbollah commanders.
Qassem: what we are doing is the minimum of what we can do. ‘Israel is targeting civilians & aid workers and is not fighting combatants.’ Qassem: we know that the battle will be long, and we are ready. Qassem: Hezbollah is ready to confront any ground invasion by Israel.
‘If Israel believes its aggression will lead to its win, it’s delusional.’ The US supports Israel unconditionally and is complicit in innocent killings. Qassem: We will continue with the plans that Nasrallah had formed.
