The head of Hezbollah’s Resources and Borders department tells Al Mayadeen that all major international players, including the US, have asked Hezbollah to engage in dialogue, but the party has declined these requests.
“Israel” does not have the logistical ability to strike Lebanon, nor does it have the ability to strike Gaza, were it not for the [US airbridge] that works daily to supply Israeli occupation forces with weapons and ammunition, the Chief of Hezbollah’s Resources and Borders department, Sayyed Nawaf al-Mousawi told Al Mayadeen.
He confirmed that Hezbollah has direct communication lines with major international powers some of which asked the party’s officials “to convince our brothers in al-Qassam Brigades of accepting a deal proposed to them,” stressing that Hezbollah’s response was that the Palestinian people and the Palestinian Resistance are the only parties capable of making such decisions.
Al-Mousawi pointed out that what is happening today in Gaza cannot be compared to any other place in the world, stressing that the Islamic resistance in Lebanon will not accept, under any circumstances, abandon the Palestinian people in the besieged Strip.
Since October 8, 2023, Hezbollah’s Resistance fighters have been attacking Israeli occupation forces and military sites along the border with occupied Palestine, in support of the people of Gaza and the Palestinian Resistance. The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon has reiterated that it will suspend its operations against Israeli targets once the ongoing aggression on the Gaza Strip ends.
Touching on the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon’s growing military capabilities, al-Mousawi said that Hezbollah continues to add new weapons and missiles in parallel to its confrontation with Israeli occupation forces at the Lebanese-Palestinian border.
He revealed that what the Lebanese Resistance group used to deliver to its storage facilities in a period of half a year is now being delivered within a month, highlighting that Hezbollah continues to build new storage facilities and bring in new missiles; ones that are more accurate and of new types for naval, ground, and aerial use.
Al-Mousawi pointed out that all major international players, including the United States, have asked Hezbollah to engage in direct dialogue, affirming that the Lebanese Resistance party has declined these requests.
