Aggression, occupation take Zionist regime closer to collapse, says senior Hezbollah official

A high-ranking official with the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement has censured Israeli forces’ raids on al-Aqsa Mosque and violent attacks on Palestinian worshippers, saying such futile attempts only bring the Tel Aviv regime closer to the brink of collapse.

“While Palestinians are in possession of the secret to victory, which is faithful struggle and resistance, Israelis hold the key to downfall, which is oppression and occupation,” Hezbollah Deputy Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem said in a tweet published on his Twitter page on Monday.

“We are now at a stage where the stability and legitimacy of the occupying Israeli regime are unthinkable,” He pointed out.

Earlier, Sheikh Nabil Qaouk, deputy head of the executive council of Hezbollah, reiterated his group’s unwavering support for Palestine, saying the Lebanese resistance movement will remain at the forefront of the campaign defending the oppressed nation.

“Hezbollah is in the front line of the campaign defending the Palestinian nation and resistance, and, undoubtedly, it will stick to the path until the end. No threats can undermine our resolve and determination,” he addressed an event in southern Lebanon on Sunday.

Sheikh Qaouk also condemned Israel’s “intolerable” attacks against Palestinian worshipers at the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in the Old City of al-Quds.

Hezbollah, Hamas leaders discuss 'readiness of axis of resistance'

The Hezbollah and Hamas leaders have met to discuss the latest developments in Palestine after Israeli attacks on worshipers at the al-Aqsa Mosque compound.

“Every honorable Muslim should do whatever at their disposal to support al-Aqsa Mosque… It is a moral and religious duty, and we have no hesitation to fulfill it. The Israeli enemy is having its worst days since 1984 because of the equations created by the resistance,” the high-ranking Hezbollah official noted.

The Israeli forces have wounded and rounded up hundreds of Palestinians during the attacks that have seen a rise since the beginning of Ramadan. Illegal Israeli settlers have been freely violating the compound under the Israeli military and police force’s protection.

Since the start of the holy month of Radadan, the Israeli regime has imposed strict restrictions on the entry and exit of Palestinians to and from the gates of al-Aqsa Mosque. Amid heightened tensions with Palestinian worshipers, Israeli settlers also press ahead with their frequent incursions and provocative rituals at the holy site.

On Thursday, at least 30 rockets were reportedly launched from southern Lebanon into the Israeli-occupied territories in retaliation against the Israeli aggression against al-Aqsa. Resistance fighters based in Gaza also fired several rockets toward the occupied territories.

GCC strongly condemns Israeli desecration of al-Aqsa, raids on worshipers

The Persian Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) strongly condemns the Israeli desecration of the al-Aqsa Mosque compound and violent raids on Palestinian worshipers.

Palestinian sources said the regime’s Iron Dome failed to intercept most of the retaliatory rockets. Following the rocket attack, Israeli warplanes hit targets inside Gaza and positions of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas in Lebanon.

The Israeli regime has in recent months stepped up its atrocities, killing around 100 Palestinians this year alone.
