Member of the "Loyalty to the Resistance" bloc, MP Hassan Fadlallah, stated that "the rocket fire that took place on Tuesday was an appropriate response aimed at deterring Israel from proceeding." He added in an interview with the "Wall Street Journal," "We are committed to defending our country and preventing the Israeli army from easily killing civilians as it does in Gaza, by responding to its attacks in the appropriate manner and preventing it from overstepping." Fadlallah confirmed that "when Netanyahu's government stops the massacre in Gaza, the other fronts, including Lebanon, will also cease, and when a truce is agreed upon in Gaza, it will also apply to southern Lebanon."
