Qassem says Hezbollah 'capable of confronting Israelis'
Hezbollah leader Sheikh Naim Qassem said in a Ashoura commemorations televised speech overnight that the "ongoing aggression" by Israel "must not be allowed to continue."
"The (Lebanese) state must exert pressure, and it must fulfill all of its duties," he said, insisting Hezbollah had held up its end of the ceasefire bargain.
"Do you imagine we will remain silent forever? No. Everything has its limits," he warned.
He added that Hezbollah is “capable of confronting the Israelis” if needed and that it “can win” through performing “its duty, praying to God and depending on God.”
God “will send us his angels” to support us on the battlefield, Qassem went on to say.
Stressing that Hezbollah should not hand over its weapons before Israel implements its part of the ceasefire agreement, Qassem warned: "Let no one mess with us, let no one play with us and let no one say that they are capable of subjugating us."
