Hezbollah lawmaker Hassan Fadlallah said Wednesday that the second phase of Israel’s ground operation in south Lebanon “will not give it the victory image it is seeking” after “its failure in the first ground campaign.”
“Despite the magnitude of the huge loss at the civilian and urban levels, our people have no choice but to continue the resistance and resilience in the face of the Israeli brutalism, and (Israeli PM Benjamin) Netanyahu will not take through politics what he couldn’t through war,” Fadlallah added, in a speech marking 40 days since the assassination of senior Hezbollah official Sayyed Hashem Safieddine.
“Our country will not submit to the enemy’s conditions,” Fadlallah stressed.
