Hezbollah Deputy SG: Lebanon Ready for Full-Scale War If “Israel” Provokes It

By Staff, Agencies

Hezbollah Deputy Secretary General His Eminence Sheikh Naim Kassem warns that the apartheid “Israeli” entity will "face devastation and destruction" if it moves to expand the war against Lebanon.

Sheikh Kassem said on Tuesday that Hezbollah is not after the expansion of conflict with the entity but remains ready in the face of any imposed war.

His Eminence said the resistance group is “ready for the battle and will not allow ‘Israel’ to secure any victories.”

He warned that any expansion of war by the “Israeli” entity will be met “with devastation and destruction” in the occupied territories.

“If ‘Israel’ wants to fight an all-out war, we are ready for it,” he stated.

The remarks came after Hezbollah on Tuesday launched a squadron of drones against an “Israeli” military barracks for a second consecutive day.

The resistance movement has launched over 2000 operations against the “Israeli” entity in support of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

Hezbollah strikes on “Israeli: military and espionage sites have forced the entity to evacuate tens of thousands of people from areas close to the Lebanese border with no prospect in sight for them to return.

The operations have also inflicted a significant number of casualties on the entity with some estimates suggesting some 500 “Israeli” soldiers have been either killed or wounded in the strikes.

The apartheid “Israeli” entity has also launched attacks on southern Lebanon over the past months, causing the martyrdom of hundreds of Lebanese.

The “Israeli” entity waged a genocidal war on Gaza on October 7 after the Hamas resistance movement carried out its historic Operation Al-Aqsa Flood against the usurping entity in retaliation for the entity’s intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.

On May 7, the occupying entity began a ground offensive in Rafah, home to about a million displaced Palestinians who have fled from the rest of Gaza amid the “Israeli” onslaught.

So far, the apartheid “Israeli” entity has killed at least 36,550 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 82,627 others in the Gaza Strip.
