Single source · Lebanon, Lebanon (approximate) · 2026-10-28

Hezbollah Secretary General Naim Qassem says, according to reports relaying his statement, that the resistance will confront any aggression against Lebanon and will continue while Israeli occupation and aggression persist. He rejects disarming Hezbollah under the June US-brokered framework agreement with Israel, calling that agreement illegitimate, and says Israel should withdraw in line with the November 27, 2024 agreement and UN Security Council Resolution 1701. One report also says he attaches great importance to the Iran-US agreement.
