Hezbollah chief Naim Qasim addresses the people 3 days after the cease-fire between Israel and Lebanon. According to Reuters, Qasim said that Hezbollah has won a victory over Israel and that it is bigger than the 2006 war. 18 years ago, there was a 34-day war between Hezbollah and Israel. About 1200 Lebanese civilians were killed in this. Qasim said that we won this war because we stopped Hezbollah from being destroyed.
The head of Hezbollah said-
Those who bet that Hezbollah would weaken have failed. Hezbollah brought the enemy to their knees and forced them to compromise.
Qasim also mentioned the Pager attack in September, saying that Israel had hoped that an attack on Hezbollah's command system would destroy the organization, but that this did not happen. After this Hezbollah began attacking Israel's home front, which put Israel on the defensive and agreed to a cease-fire.
Hezbollah chief said – will try to maintain ceasefire Qassim praised Hezbollah's determination not to give up and said it would work with the Lebanese army to maintain the ceasefire. The head of Hezbollah said-
We approve this agreement with our heads held high. Its objective was to withdraw Israeli forces from all parts of Lebanon south of the Litani River. We were firm on this from the beginning and Israel was forced to accept it.
A cease-fire agreement was signed between Israel and Hezbollah on 27 November. America and France mediated for this. Under this agreement, Israeli troops would withdraw from southern Lebanon and Hezbollah would also withdraw.
Netanyahu gave 3 reasons for the ceasefire
- Focused on Iran.
- To give rest to tired reservists.
- Isolating Hamas
Netanyahu said that Hamas is trusting Hezbollah. He was sure that Hezbollah fighters would fight with him, but now he is left alone. Now the pressure will increase on them. This will help free our hostages.
However, Netanyahu also said that if Hezbollah tried to attack Israel near the border, build infrastructure in the area, dig tunnels or bring trucks carrying rockets into the area, it would be considered a violation of the agreement.
After the ceasefire, the Lebanese began to return home Since the end of the Israel-Hezbollah war, thousands of people have started returning to northern Lebanon from southern Lebanon. However, the Israeli army has warned people not to return to 60 villages in southern Lebanon. Israel's army said those returning were putting themselves at risk.
Earlier, the Israeli army also advised Lebanese citizens not to return home for security reasons. However, despite the appeals of the armies of both the countries, the effect is not visible to the people.
Thousands of families fled their homes and sought refuge in southern Lebanon following a deadly Israeli missile attack on September 23. Since Wednesday morning, thousands of people were seen returning on bikes and vehicles to the southern Lebanese cities of Sidon, Ghaziyah and Tire.
