In 1st speech since truce, Hezbollah chief claims victory, says will work with Lebanese army

[IsraelTimes] Terror leader, whose predecessor Nasrallah was eliminated along with most other Hezbollah leaders in recent weeks, denies group was weakened, vows to implement ceasefire commitments
The head of Hezbollah, Naim Qassem, pledged on Friday to coordinate closely with the Lebanese army on the ceasefire deal with Israel, which he said the terror group had agreed to “with heads held high.”
Did he say that from a bunker in Tehran? I thought so
Qassem also declared that Hezbollah had achieved a “great victory” against Israel that “surpasses that of July 2006,” referring to the last time the terror group went to war against Israel.
“We won because we prevented the enemy from destroying Hezbollah… [and] from annihilating or weakening the resistance,” Qassem said.
It was Qassem’s first address since the ceasefire came into effect on Wednesday, more than a year after Hezbollah launched near-daily rocket and drone attacks on Israel. The terror group in Lebanon said its attacks were a show of support for Palestinians amid the war in the Gaza Strip sparked by the Hamas terror group’s devastating October 7, 2023, onslaught. The relentless attacks forced the displacement of some 60,000 residents of northern Israel.
Qassem said Hezbollah had “approved the deal, with the resistance strong in the battlefield, and our heads held high with our right to defend [ourselves].”
The truce, brokered by the United States and France, includes an initial two-month ceasefire in which Hezbollah terrorists are to withdraw north of the Litani River, about 20 kilometers from the boundary between Israel and Lebanon, and Israeli forces are to return to their side of the border. The buffer zone would be patrolled by Lebanese troops and UN peacekeepers.
Israeli officials have said forces will be withdrawn gradually as it ensures that the agreement is being enforced. Israel says it reserves the right to strike Hezbollah if it violates the terms of the truce.
“The resistance will be ready to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of Lebanon’s weakness along with our partners… first and foremost the army,” Qassem said in a televised speech.
