In his first public address following the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah by Israel, deputy leader Naim Qassem has stated that the group is prepared to confront any potential Israeli ground invasion of Lebanon.
He emphasized that Israel will not succeed in its objectives.
“We will face any possibility and we are ready if the Israelis decide to enter by land and the resistance forces are ready for a ground engagement,” he said.
Israeli forces have struck Hezbollah multiple times in a two-week campaign targeting sites in Lebanon, resulting in the deaths of several commanders.
Many are speculating that Israel may be preparing to deploy ground troops and tanks across the border.
The Palestinian militant group Hamas reported that an Israeli airstrike killed its leader in Tyre, Lebanon, on Monday. Additionally, another Palestinian organization announced that three of its leaders were killed in a strike in central Beirut, marking the first such attack within the capital’s limits. Hamas said its leader in Lebanon, Fateh Sherif Abu el-Amin was killed along with his wife, son and daughter, in a strike that targeted their house in a refugee camp in the southern city of Tyre in the early hours of Monday.
