Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem issued a firm warning on Sunday, declaring that Israel will not maintain a presence in Lebanon and that his organization stands ready to respond to any actions taken by Israeli forces that cross the line.
Qassem’s remarks came just days after a ceasefire between the two sides went into effect on Friday. Despite the agreement, Israeli officials have made clear that their military personnel are authorized to act freely and without limitation when it comes to neutralizing what they describe as threats within Lebanese territory.
