Sheikh Qassem added, “Any Israeli expansion of the war on Lebanon will be met with devastation, destruction and displacement in Israel.

“If Israel wants to fight an all-out war, we are ready for it.”

Nasrallah said, “This battle concerns Palestine, but also concerns the future of Lebanon and its water and oil resources.

“This front is a support front that is part of the battle that will determine the fate of Palestine, Lebanon, and the region strategically.”
