BEIRUT — The Hezbollah terror movement has praised the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip as a victory for the Palestinian people, saying Israel did not achieve any of its objectives.

Hezbollah blasted the United States, saying that through its support to Israel, Washington is “a full partner in the crimes and genocide that the enemy committed against the Palestinian people.”

Hezbollah says in a statement that it was a partner in the Palestinian “victory,” adding that the Lebanese terrorist group opened a front with Israel in which it paid a high price of losing its top commanders, including leader Hassan Nasrallah, and thousands of supporters.

Hezbollah says that resistance is the only way to deter Israel, which “was not able to achieve any of its goals by force or break the will or steadfastness of the Palestinian people.”
