War against Lebanon marks end of Zionist regime
The head of the Loyalty to Resistance Bloc in the Lebanese Parliament, in response to accusations by the Zionist regime against Hezbollah and threats of military action against Lebanon, said: Choosing the option of a widespread war against Lebanon will mean the end of the Zionist regime's work. Mohammad Raad added: Due to the steadfastness of the people of Gaza, the bravery of the resistance fighters, and the support and aid of the Axis of Resistance, the Zionist enemy failed to achieve its claimed objectives.
Irreparable damage inflicted by Hezbollah on Tel Aviv
Raad stated that Hezbollah's efforts in the field of confrontation with the Zionist regime are not in vain, and this party has not entered this conflict for futile benefits or play, but rather its Jihad, Patience, and endurance, which always increase against the enemy, cause the country's immunity and deterrence against any enemy thought to attack Lebanon. Speaking at a ceremony commemorating one of the resistance martyrs named "Mamoun Ali al-Mir", he emphasised: We have identified the enemy's levers of power and attacked them to weaken the enemy and defeat them, and eliminate the aggressive objectives it seeks. It is true that this confrontation requires patience, steadfastness, and paying a cost, but it is better than the enemy's aggression leading to the destruction, ruin, and occupation of the country. He expressed that confrontation with the Zionist enemy is not limited to current conditions; rather, Hezbollah is establishing foundations that will be beneficial in future stages; because the Zionist enemy only after decline and collapse can no longer aggress against Lebanon, and one must be ready against potential enemy aggression at every moment. This Lebanese political official emphasised: We have created major cracks for the enemy in these tensions that it cannot repair over the next few decades, the Zionist society is collapsing, and we are in the final stages of a unified society that the Zionist enemy claims to have.
Cessation of Gaza war brings calm to Southern Lebanon
Mohammad Raad, head of the Loyalty to Resistance Bloc in the Lebanese Parliament, during speeches regarding developments related to the war with the Zionist enemy, announced: The fate of Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of the occupying regime, and his remaining in power, depends on the continuation of aggressions against Gaza, and Netanyahu continues this war in line with his personal interests. Mohammad Raad, in response to the travel of Western and American delegations, especially the recent visit of "Amos Hochstein", special envoy of the United States to Beirut with the aim of calming the Southern Lebanese front, said: Those who come to Lebanon and seek to save the Zionists in the north of occupied Palestine should know that the Lebanese Resistance has taken to the field for solidarity and support of the oppressed in the Gaza Strip, and as long as the aggressions of the occupying regime against Gaza continue, we have no discussion about the Southern front of Lebanon. He added: Whoever wants to stop the war on the Southern front of Lebanon must pressure the Zionists to stop aggressions against Gaza. The occupiers have failed severely in achieving their objectives in Gaza and are now in a political crisis. The cabinet of the occupying regime has collapsed, differences among Zionists have reached the highest level, and widespread protests are being held for the removal of Netanyahu. This Hezbollah official, in response to the psychological war of the Zionist regime and its supporters against Lebanon and also false claims recently raised by the British newspaper The Telegraph claiming that "Hezbollah keeps its weapons at Beirut International Airport", stated: These are fabricated rumours by the enemy and in line with Zionist interests, which unfortunately some Arab media also promote. The head of the Loyalty to Resistance Bloc in the Lebanese Parliament emphasised: In this current sensitive juncture, we must follow news and analyses from relevant and credible sources that care about the country's and nation's interests, and we assure that the Resistance has the upper hand and, by God's will, will soon impose a disastrous defeat on the enemy.
Operation True Promise, the Deterrent Factor of Tel Aviv
He emphasized in statements: The enemy Zionist has been trapped in the swamp of conflict with the resilient people of Gaza and the heroes of the Resistance for seven months, and these people have shown unprecedented audacity, power, and strategic and tactical initiatives in these conflicts. He clarified that the matter has reached a point where the Zionist enemy, seeking to increase pressure from the Lebanon and Gaza fronts, is trying to exit this field of confrontation. Raad stated that today the enemy is on the edge of this confrontation and fires missiles at Baalbek or Syria or distant areas to create foreign interventions and receive foreign support for itself. He stated that Israel committed a major mistake by targeting a number of Iranian military advisors in Syria, causing the Iranians to react to this attack. The most important thing in the Iranian reaction, Operation True Promise, was that the deterrent power for Iran was preserved, and the deterrent power of the Israeli enemy in the region was lost, and this issue will have strategic importance at the level of regional disputes.
The Imminence of Israel's Demise
The head of the Loyalty to the Resistance bloc in the Lebanon parliament said that the enemy Zionist is rapidly approaching the moment of its destruction and end; because creating savage scenes does not lead to victory at all, but only portrays savage crime and revenge. Mohammad Raad added at the Hezbollah ceremony in the Husseinia of the town of "Jarjoua" to commemorate Hussein Mohammad Khalil, the martyr rescuer of the way of Jerusalem, in the presence of figures, scholars, families of martyrs, and residents of this town: The victor is the one who challenges the perpetrators of these savage scenes and remains steadfast and does not submit to the conditions of the aggressors to Gaza. He emphasized that the useful matter is to be ready and strong to defend oneself and confront your enemy and respond to the enemy severalfold so that it is restrained and controlled. He continued addressing the Zionist enemy: We are waiting for you to commit a major mistake so that the nature of the occupier regime is endangered. He concluded: The support of the America for our Israeli enemy does not frighten us, and we are aware of all the weaknesses of this enemy[1].
