A member of the Hezbollah Political Council has vowed that resistance against Israel will continue, stating that the Israeli occupation forces will face a serious defeat if they launch a ground invasion into Lebanon. Mahmoud Qomati told Al Mayadeen that southern Lebanon “will become a graveyard for the occupation forces,” stressing Hezbollah’s preparedness with a vast arsenal of weapons and trained fighters.

He also said the resistance was rebuilt immediately following the assassination of Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. The resistance leader’s legacy is well-maintained, he said, adding, “His trust is in our hands and will remain so with every leader and fighter.”
