The Lebanese resistance movement, Hezbollah, has warned that it will inflict ‘large losses’ in case of a potential war to be waged by the regime.

The Lebanese resistance movement’s Deputy Secretary General, Sheikh Naim Qassem made the remarks during an address in the country’s capital Beirut on Saturday.
"We have no intention of going to war as we consider that this would not be useful,” he said and added, “However, if Israel does unleash a war, we will face up to it”.
Hezbollah’s reprisal would also displace “hundreds of thousands” in the occupied Palestinian territories, the resistance official, meanwhile, noted.
Hezbollah has been responding with strikes aimed both at retaliating against the regime and supporting the war-hit Gazans.
At least 50 Israeli forces and illegal settlers have died as a result of the retaliation so far.
The regime waged wars against Lebanon in 2000 and 2006 only to be forced into beating humiliating retreats as a result of Hezbollah’s decisive defensive operations.
Since October, it has repeatedly been threatening to launch another one against the country.
Hezbollah, however, has invariably vowed in remarks that it would defend the Lebanese soil with all its resources in the event of another wholesale Israeli military onslaught.
