A senior official of Hezbollah, an armed group in Lebanon, said on the 30th that they would win against the Israeli ground attack.
Naim Kasem, the second leader of Hezbollah, said this in his first appearance as a Hezbollah official since the death of the leader Hassan Nasrallah in an Israeli airstrike on the 27th.
Hezbollah is ready to allow Israeli forces to enter the ground, Kassem said.
He said, “We know the battle can be long,” and emphasized, “Just as we won the 2006 liberation (war) against Israel’s enemies, we will win (this time too).
To do this, Hezbollah will choose Nasrallah’s successor as soon as possible and continue the fight against Israel, said Kassem.
These comments by a second Hezbollah commander came as the Israeli military continues airstrikes across Lebanon following the recent explosion of backpacks and walkie-talkies by Hezbollah members.
Meanwhile, Lebanon’s interim Prime Minister Najib Mikati said in a statement today that the country is ready to implement Resolution 1701, adopted by the United Nations Security Council in 2006 for a complete ceasefire in the war between Israel and Lebanon.
Prime Minister Mikati announced that as soon as a ceasefire is reached, troops will be deployed south of the Litani River near Lebanon’s southern border (blue line), and a president will be elected after the post is vacant for two years. .
