Resistance will never give in to Israel or give up fighting

Hezbollah chief made the remarks in an address on the ninth martyrdom anniversary of senior Hezbollah commander, Sayyed Mustafa Badreddin, on Monday.

He said the Israeli regime launched a war on Lebanon to end the resistance, vowing that the objective will not be achieved through pressure on the Lebanese government or violation of the ceasefire.

He emphasised Lebanon’s commitment to the ceasefire agreement with Israel, even though Tel Aviv violated the agreement 3,000 times.

Following significant losses sustained over nearly 14 months of conflict and the failure to meet its objectives in the offensive against Lebanon, Israel was compelled to accept a ceasefire with Hezbollah. This ceasefire took effect on November 27.

Since the commencement of the agreement, the occupying forces have been launching assaults on Lebanon, breaching the ceasefire, which includes airstrikes throughout the Arab nation.

Lebanon has condemned the continued presence of Israeli military forces, viewing it as a violation of the ceasefire agreement and the established timeline for withdrawal. Senior officials in Beirut have expressed their commitment to take “all necessary measures” to remove the occupying troops from the nation.

In another part of his speech, Hezbollah's leader condemned Israel's systematic starvation of Palestinians in Gaza; a policy pursued with the direct support of the United States.

He stressed that the people in Gaza came out glorious and the resistance hasn’t laid down their arms, and hailed their epic steadfastness.

Sheikh Qassem also congratulated Yemen for its victory against the US, saying the leaders and the great nation of Yemen forced the US to stop its aggression against the Arab country.
