Lebanese armed group Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem says Hezbollah is ready for a “long-term conflict” in its ongoing war with Israel. “God willing, they (Israel) will be surprised on the battlefield,” he said in a televised address.
\nHe added, “The enemy’s threats will not intimidate us.” Qassem said, “This is not just a limited or ordinary fight, this is a fight for our existence.” He added that Israeli threats to assassinate him were “meaningless” and that he was not afraid of them.
\nMeanwhile, Iran and Hezbollah have launched new attacks on various parts of Israel. Several casualties were reported in the latest attack. The attack took place in the northern Upper Galilee region. Since the area is close to the Lebanese border, there is also a risk of Hezbollah rocket attacks.<\/p>\n
