Member of the Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc, MP Hassan Fadlallah, confirmed that "Israel will not be able to establish a balance of displacement between northern occupied Palestine and southern Lebanon, no matter how it tries to affect the Lebanese because our people will not submit." He added in a speech during the funeral of "the martyr on the road to Al-Quds, Mustafa Mahmoud Jaber 'Jouad Abbas'," in southern Bint Jbeil, that "neither the shelling, nor the airstrikes, nor the bombardments, nor the intimidation, nor all the messages can impose a new equation." Fadlallah concluded: "There is no talk or discussion here before stopping the aggression on Gaza, and Israeli settlers will not feel reassured no matter what is done because there is no choice but to stop the aggression."
