Hezbollah Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem declared that the conflict with Israel is far from over, accusing the Israeli government of failing to honor peace agreements. Speaking on “Resistance and Liberation Day,” he said Israel’s inability to maintain a presence in Lebanon since 1982 was a result of fierce resistance. Qassem recalled Israel’s failed attempt to impose the May 17 Agreement and emphasized that any future efforts to extend Israeli expansion into Lebanon would be futile.
