BEIRUT, Lebanon — Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem says the terror group would not allow itself to be disarmed as he addressed supporters marking one year since the killing by Israel of his predecessor Hassan Nasrallah.
“We will never abandon our weapons, nor will we relinquish them,” Qassem tells the tens of thousands of supporters gathered at the tomb of the former chief in Beirut.
“We are ready for martyrdom,” he adds.
