Hezbollah ready for long battle against Israel threats

Beirut: Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem has issued a stark warning, stating that his group is prepared for a prolonged conflict with Israel. The threat comes as Israel has warned that Lebanon will pay an 'increasing price' for allowing Hezbollah to operate, following recent tensions that escalated after the killing of Iran's supreme leader.

Israel has taken direct military action, destroying a key bridge over the Litani River and targeting Lebanese infrastructure. The Israeli military emphasized the importance of the bridge as a 'key crossing' for Hezbollah, indicating their strategic focus on disrupting the group's supply lines and combat readiness.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for a ceasefire, urging both sides to stop the war and launch a humanitarian appeal to support displaced civilians. The conflict has led to significant loss of life and displacement, with tragic incidents reported across Lebanon, including the deaths of civilians in Israeli strikes.

As the situation continues to deteriorate, international attention remains focused on the escalating tensions and the potential for further escalation in the region.
