Sheikh Nabil Qawq, a member of the Central Council of "Hezbollah," emphasized that "the battle today is one that begins in Gaza and extends to southern Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen, to establish equations and a new future for the nation, where these equations favor Palestine and Jerusalem." Qawq affirmed that "as long as the Israeli aggression on Gaza continues, resistance operations along the border in Lebanon with occupied Palestine will persist, despite all Israeli, American, or international threats and pressures. With the ongoing resistance operations in the south, we demonstrate that we do not care about all these threats and pressures."
