Hezbollah says will confront Israeli-US ‘aggression’; will not surrender

Hezbollah will confront “Israeli-American aggression” and will not surrender, the head of the Iran-backed Lebanese group Naim Qassem says.

“We are facing aggression … our choice is to confront it until the ultimate sacrifice, and we will not surrender,” Qassem said in remarks broadcast on his party’s TV channel.

It was the Hezbollah leader’s first speech since the beginning of the US-Israeli attack on Iran.

“We will not hesitate to defend our rights and we will not surrender to our enemy. We will confront the aggression, which for us is an existential defence that will continue until our goals are achieved.”
