Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah stressed that Hezbollah supports all the negotiation choices of the Palestinian Resistance Movement, Hamas, adding that the entire axis of resistance backs those options.

uth Lebanon and Gaza, noting that Hezbollah border battle is aimed at draining the Israeli enemy capabilities and pressing entity into stopping war on Gaza.

Hezbollah leader emphasized that the Israeli enemy acknowledges that the northern front is very effective, maintaining that the border battle has started reaching strategic achievements.

Many Western states have been pressing the Israeli government to stop the war on Gaza in order for Hezbollah to stop its border battle, according to Sayyed Nasrallah who added that this exemplifies Hezbollah achievement.

Hezbollah border battle has detained over 100 thousand Israeli officers and soldiers in the North for fear of the Resistance infiltration or invasion of Galilee, his eminence said, adding that even the destruction of the spy devices made the enemy rely more on the personnel to gather information.

Sayyed Nasrallah indicated that the need for extra troops obliged the Israeli enemy to call up Haredi recruits despite the consequences of the confrontation
with this segment, adding that the entity was even obliged to extend the compulsory service for the same reason.

It is not a tribal battle that imposes equal number of casualties, his eminence underlined, adding that the effects of the battle which push the enemy to halt its war will be the core of interest.

Sayyed Nasrallah indicated that the Israeli officials downplayed their threat rhetoric against Lebanon due to the consequences of Gaza war and Hezbollah border battle.

His eminence explained that the Israeli officials demanded pushing Hezbollah forces back to, at first, three kilometers when they thought the Resistance possesses only a Kornet missile whose range is 3 kilometers, adding that they started demanding a wider security zone whenever they discover a new Hezbollah missile with a longer range.

Whenever any Israeli tank appears on the borders with Lebanon, Hezbollah strike and destroy them, according to Sayyed Nasrallah.

Sayyed Nasrallah stressed that Hezbollah is not afraid of an all-out war at all, adding that the Resistance fighters are firing hundreds of missiles and drones at the Israeli targets after every Zionist assassination crime.

Hezbollah will hal
t its border battle whenever Gaza ceasefire occurs, according to Sayyed Nasrallah who added that, in case of other conditions, the Resistance will act accordingly.
