Hezbollah: No option but armed resistance to fight off Israeli aggression

There is no option but armed struggle to fight off the open aggression Israel is exercising in the occupied Palestinian territories and elsewhere in West Asia, says a high-ranking official with the Lebanon’s resistance movement Hezbollah.

“When armed struggle has its roots in ethics and faith and its adherents are willing to make sacrifices, it will emerge triumphant, God willing,” Deputy Secretary-General of Hezbollah Sheikh Naim Qassem said on Saturday during a ceremony in the western village of Ghobeiry in commemoration of the fallen commanders and members of the resistance group.

Sheikh Qassem said his fellow resistance fighters are attempting to liberate mankind. “Such freedom will come by through sacrifices and out of altruism. We will eventually witness an independent Middle East with the Zionist regime wiped off its face.”

The Hezbollah official said the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Strom by Gaza-based resistance factions exposed the frailty and weakness of the Zionist regime, and drove it closer to downfall.

Israel to ‘pay with blood’ price of killing Lebanese civilians: Nasrallah

Lebanon’s Hezbollah says the Israeli regime will “pay with blood” the price for the recent killing of civilians in the country’s south.

“Israel, at the apex of its self-proclaimed prowess, murders civilians and children and is unable to confront resistance fighters. This behavior is indicative of its debacle.

“After more than four months, the Axis of Resistance is still steadfast and fighting to inflict painful losses upon the Zionist enemy’s ranks,” Sheikh Qassem stated.

Hezbollah’s precision strike targets Israeli military outpost

Later on Saturday, Hezbollah fighters struck an Israeli military outpost in the occupied territories.

Hezbollah continues such operations in solidarity with the Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip. The movement has vowed to keep up its retaliatory operations as long as the regime continues its onslaught on Gaza.

The Lebanese resistance group said in a brief statement it had used a Falaq-1 (Dusk-1) rocket to directly pound Branit barracks.

Israeli warplanes also carried out a string of airstrikes against the outskirts of Ramyeh, Bayt Lif and Ayta ash-Sha'b villages in southern Lebanon.

The regime launched its devastating hostilities in the Gaza Strip on October 7 after the Hamas-led Palestinian resistance groups carried out Operation Al-Aqsa Storm.

The Israeli military has been also carrying out attacks against the Lebanese territory since then.

Israel has killed more than 28,800 people, most of them women and children, in Gaza. Nearly 70,000 people have also been injured.
