Speaking at a press conference in the Lebanese Parliament, Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc MP Hassan Fadlallah stressed that the ultimate goal of "Israel's" aggression on Lebanon is to "to dismantle Hezbollah and establish a new balance of power in the region." He asserted, however, that "the Resistance will not allow the enemy to impose its conditions on our country."

For days, MP Fadlallah explained, Israeli occupation forces (IOF) have attempted to establish control near border towns have failed, with Resistance fighters firmly blocking their advances, particularly near the town of al-Khiam. He noted that the IOF has failed to secure any foothold in border villages and has been forced to withdraw from several points.

“Your people stand with you, praying day and night. With God’s will, victory is yours,” he told the fighters.
