Hezbollah deputy chief Naim Qassem warns Israelis in a speech that the only solution to the current war is a ceasefire, saying his Iran-backed terror group would not be defeated.
“Since the Israeli enemy targeted all of Lebanon, we have the right from a defensive position to target any place” in Israel, “whether the center, the north or the south,” Qassem says.
“I am telling the Israeli home front: The solution is a ceasefire… the resistance (Hezbollah) will not be defeated because this is its land,” he adds.
Qassem says the terror group has adopted a new calculation so that Israel feels “pain.”
