Khaberni - Hezbollah's Secretary-General Naim Qassem stated that "Israel has failed on the ground to carry out a ground invasion and that the party's missiles continue to reach beyond Haifa, even after 40 days since the aggression began".
In a message to "the steadfast and sacrificing Lebanese", Qassem said that "the Israeli enemy has failed on the ground against the heroes of the resistance, and could not carry out a ground invasion as repeatedly announced", adding that "it has failed in all its aggression for more than forty days to prevent missiles, shells, and drones from reaching its settlements, both near and far, up to Haifa and beyond".
The Secretary-General affirmed that "the enemy was surprised by the resistance tactics and the flexibility of the mujahideen's movement and their defensive capabilities and legendary courage", stressing that "the mobilization of one hundred thousand Israeli soldiers will not aid them in occupation, but will turn them into corpses and remnants".
Qassem accused "the enemy of resorting to bloody crimes on Wednesday in Beirut, the suburbs, the south, the Bekaa, and Mount Lebanon, targeting civilians in extended neighborhoods, villages, and towns to cover up its failures in the field".
The Secretary-General emphasized that "the resistance will continue until the last breath, and the youth compete to go to the field and do not leave it", considering that "sacrifices make them adhere more to liberating the homeland and dignity".
Qassem confirmed that he "will not accept a return to the previous situation, calling on officials to stop making free concessions", stressing that "Lebanon together as a state, army, people, and resistance is capable of protecting its country, restoring its sovereignty, and expelling the occupier".
He concluded his message by saying that "the enemy’s threats and weapons will not intimidate the resistance, because they are the landowners and possess faith, will, and the capability to prevent them from achieving their goals", adding that "the Lebanese people are much stronger and more resilient than believed, and that the displaced have given a paradigm of pride and morale"
