Hezbollah issues statement: Israel has made no progress

Hezbollah Deputy Secretary-General Naim Qassem said, "We view the US as a major partner in all the crimes committed in Gaza. Without US support, Israel's attacks would have ended within a month."

Hezbollah Deputy Secretary-General Naim Qassem made statements on a Lebanese television channel.

Stating that the ground attacks in southern Lebanon began 7 days ago but the Israeli army has not yet been able to make any progress, Qassem expressed that a new secretary-general will be elected following the killing of Hassan Nasrallah and an announcement will be made once the process is complete.

Describing the Al-Aqsa Flood Operation launched by Hamas on October 7 last year as an exceptional event and the beginning of change in the Middle East, Qassem used the expression, "Israel's goal is to completely end the axis of resistance and destroy the Palestinian people."

Qassem said that Israel wants to subject all countries and peoples in the region to its own policies.

THE US IS AN ACCOMPLICE

Speaking about the US support for Israel, Qassem said, "We view the United States as a major partner in all the crimes committed in Gaza. Without US support, Israel's attacks would have ended within a month."

Stating that Hamas has a much greater capacity to resist, Qassem said, "The Palestinian people are invincible and deserve freedom."

Naim Qassem stated that Hezbollah's capacity to resist the Israeli army has not been damaged following the attacks and assassinations carried out by Israel, saying, "Our military capacity is good. What our enemies say about our combat capabilities is a delusion. They are lying. Our fighters on the front lines are steadfast. In the last 10 days, the suffering of the Israelis has increased. We tell them that more Israelis will be displaced. Israel's plan is to kill Lebanese civilians and empty villages to create chaos. But I tell them that their efforts have failed."
