TEHRAN - The new Secretary-General of the Lebanese Hezbollah warned the Israeli regime on Wednesday that it will suffer from the resistance movement’s missiles and drones.

“No place in the entity (Israel) is off-limits to our missiles and drones. The coming days will reveal more, and what will happen will be greater,” Sheikh Naeem Qassem said.
 
“We have tens of thousands of trained fighters capable of confrontation and resilience, and we have the necessary capabilities to endure for a long time,” Sheikh Qassem highlighted. 
Qassem was delivering a speech to mark the 40th day since Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was martyred in a massive Israeli bombardment in the suburbs of Beirut.

“Hezbollah has an organized structure and presence across various cultural, political, fighting, educational, and healthcare fields. This is the party that His Eminence Sayyed Nasrallah built,” Qassem pointed out. 

He underlined that the resistance in Lebanon stands on a solid foundation, with strength in numbers, specialization, power, courage, and defiance against the fiercest enemies.
“His Eminence Sayyed Nasrallah… continues to inspire us in martyrdom, and will remain alive through his sacrifice. He will continue with us, and we with him. The Resistance will endure and grow,” Qassem underlined. 

Hezbollah targets an Israeli military base in the vicinity of Ben Gurion Airport for the first time.The new Hezbollah leader also said Gaza will remain resilient, firm and unyielding, and it will achieve victory.

He noted, “We will make the enemy seek to stop its aggression, and we are building on the battlefield, not on political movements.”

Touching on the elections in the United States and the possibility of political talks to end the Israeli aggression on Lebanon, which critics have accused of serving Israeli interests, the Hezbollah chief said, “When the enemy decides to stop its aggression, negotiations will take place through indirect talks via the Lebanese government and President (parliament speaker) Nabih Berri, who carries the banner of political resistance.”
With regards to the elections in the United States, and how this may end the Israeli aggression on Lebanese civilians, expand it or affect the Lebanese resistance, Sheikh Qassem noted, “Hezbollah does not rely on the American elections, which hold no value for us. We will depend on the battlefield, and the occupation is losing in this area, not winning, and we will prevent it from achieving its goals. The strength of the resistance lies in its continuity despite the military disparities, and with the power of will and confrontation, in which we are stronger.
Our exclusive option is to prevent the occupation from achieving its aggression's goals, and in our dictionary, there is only the continuation of resistance. In our dictionary, there is only ‘raised head,’ and our fighters will not bow to anyone except Allah, and they can only be victorious. In our dictionary, there is only endurance, patience, and remaining in the field until victory, and we cannot be defeated.”
He also warned, “[Israeli Prime Minister] Netanyahu refuses to set an end date for the war, as his plan extends beyond Gaza, Palestine, and Lebanon to reshape the Middle East.”
However, Sheikh Qassem noted, “Netanyahu does not realize that he is facing a Resistance with fundamental strengths, including unwavering beliefs and martyrdom-seeking fighters unafraid of death. Among the Resistance's key strengths are its preparations and capabilities in weaponry, abilities, and training.”

He added, “The occupation also relies on its ground army, which does not serve it well, as it fears close combat and faces a resilient Resistance on the [Lebanese] border.”

As Sheikh Qassem was speaking, Hezbollah announced that its fighters targeted another Merkava tank in the settlement of Metula with an anti-tank guided missile, resulting in its destruction and the deaths and injuries of its crew.
Earlier, Hezbollah targeted the Israeli Yoav barracks and Kela Camp in the occupied Syrian Golan with missile barrages. 
Among its other operations on Wednesday, the resistance also “targeted the Nahal Gershom headquarters (a divisional headquarters of the Galilee Division 91 under the command of the Northern Region in the Israeli" enemy army with an assault drone, hitting the target precisely.”

The Rawiya Base (the headquarters of the Armored Battalions of Brigade 188 in the Israeli Army) in the occupied Syrian Golan was also struck with a missile barrage.

Another statement said Hezbollah fighters targeted, “Tzrifin Base (which includes military training colleges) near Ben Gurion Airport, south of Tel Aviv, with a barrage of qualitative rockets.”
