Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem issued a stark warning on Tuesday, declaring that Israel’s near-daily strikes in southern Lebanon “cannot continue” and insisting the group will not disarm, calling its weapons vital for self-defense. Speaking on the Al-Manar network, Qassem challenged the validity of the current ceasefire beyond southern Lebanon, rejected calls from the Lebanese government, and accused the U.S. of pressuring Lebanon into concessions for Israel.
