AhlulBayt News Agency: Hezbollah Deputy Leader Sheikh Naim Qassem assured on Monday that the Lebanese resistance group is strong enough and ready for all scenarios, despite losing Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah and other top commanders.
In a defiant message, the first televised address following martyrdom of Sayyed Nasrallah, Sheikh Qassem vowed that Hezbollah will continue to fight.
“Hezbollah will go on with its goals and its battle. Our system of command and control as well as the mujahideen (fighters) will continue to follow up and implement the alternative plans accurately, just like the late S.G. used to do. All are ready in the battlefield.”
His eminence affirmed that the Israeli enemy was not able to harm Hezbollah’s military capabilities, noting that all options are on table.
Sheikh Qassem also warned that Hezbollah fighters are fully prepared for any possible Israeli land incursion.
Sayyed Nasrallah “Always with Us”
Sheikh Qassem started his speech by extending condolences and congratulations on martyrdom of Sayyed Nasrallah.
The Hezbollah deputy S.G. mourned Sayyed Nasrallah as saying: “We have lost a brother, father and a great leader. Sayyed Nasrallah was the leader of the convoy of free fighters. His absolute priority was Palestine and Al-Quds.”
“Be confident that our great leader is always with us,” Sheikh Qassem addressed resistance fighters.
“The Israeli enemy is committing crimes and massacres all over Lebanon, and every house has the traces of the Israeli aggression. Israel attacks both civilians and medics. They are not fighters. It attacks everyone who walks in the streets and, everyone who stays in the houses.”
He affirmed that the Israeli enemy “is delusional when it thinks that the brutal massacres and the international backing will help achieve its goals.”
“Hezbollah Will Go on”
In this context, he vowed that “despite the loss of our leaders and the great sacrifices, we won’t budge an inch from our stances.”
“We have sacrificed a lot since the pager operations, the martyrdom of the commanders and the martyrdom of the leader (Sayyed Nasrallah). If this happens anywhere else with any organization across the world, it will collapse, but we did not. We are going on despite the pains and the sacrifices. We are going on because we have the hope and we trust Allah almighty to be victorious. We are the people of jihad.”
Hezbollah’s Islamic Resistance will go ahead with confronting the Israeli enemy in support of Gaza and Palestine and in defense of Lebanon and its people, Sheikh Qassem pledged.
He noted, meanwhile, that the Israeli enemy has not been able to reach Hezbollah’s military capabilities, stressing that the Zionist claims in this regard “are just a dream that will never come true.”
Hezbollah Post-Sayyed Nasrallah
On the other hand, Sheikh Qassem said that Hezbollah will choose a new secretary general as soon as possible, stressing that following the assassination of Sayyed Nasrallah, “Hezbollah’s operations have continued at the same pace, and more.”
“Ma’ale Adumim, some 150 km away from the Lebanese border was targeted. Elsewhere in Haifa, million Israeli settlers went to shelters” due to Hezbollah attacks.
From Deputy Secretary-General of Hezbollah Sheikh Naim Qassem’s speech:
“Observe what happened after His Eminence’s (Nasrallah) assassination: resistance operations continued with the same and even greater intensity.

“I would like to tell you that what we are doing now is the minimum as part of our plan to run the battle.”
“We are dealing with the assassination of our leaders with alternative ones,” Sheikh Qassem said.
His eminence noted that the battle may be long, affirming that all options are on table and that Hezbollah is ready for all scenarios.
“Resistance fighters are fully prepared for any possible Israeli land incursion,” Sheikh Qassem stressed.
