Naim Qassem, acting head of Hezbollah, has warned that more rocket attacks will be launched in different areas of Israel if air and ground attacks on Lebanon are not stopped now.
Al Jazeera reported that he gave this warning in a speech broadcast live on Tuesday (October 15).
In the speech, Naim Qassem said, "I warn the government of Israel that if you do not stop attacking Lebanon now, Hezbollah will attack your strongholds. If you do not stop, Hezbollah will continue to fight until the end."
Hezbollah is now only focused on "hitting the enemy," Qassem said, referring to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. If you continue to attack, then we will attack further south of Israel.
He said, we cannot separate Lebanon or Palestine from the world. So if you continue to attack, we will also attack.
The Hezbollah chief also said that the only solution to end this growing conflict is a ceasefire.
It should be noted that after the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in an Israeli airstrike on September 27 of last month, Naim Qassem is leading the group as acting head.
Incidentally, Lebanon's Ministry of Health said that at least 2,350 people have been killed since the start of the Israeli attack on Lebanon. Many were injured. More than 12 lakh residents have been displaced from the country by the attack. Among them are 4 lakh children.
On the other hand, the death toll in Palestine has reached 42,289. 98 thousand 684 people were injured. And about 19 lakh residents have been displaced.
