H.E. Qassem: Resistance will continue exerting pressure on “Israel” (1):
“Hizbullah’s deputy secretary-general, Sheikh Nahim Qassem, declared on Sunday that “Israel’s” repeated vows to withdraw from the south were designed to place Lebanon and Syria under pressure.

“They talk about withdrawal daily to exert more pressure and we will talk about the resistance daily to exert more pressure. They launch the words and we launch the bullets,” he said at a religious ceremony in Bir Hassan in the southern suburbs of Beirut.

Qassem said that Hizbullah’s leaders had decided the future of the party “years ago” in the event of an “Israeli” withdrawal.
“Hizbullah’s silence about the aftermath of a withdrawal is because we do not want any information to be released that could serve the enemy. We want them to remain confused and not knowing what to do. “How we shall continue the struggle against the “Israeli” enemy and how we would deal with the changes that will occur is a secret,” he said.
