Hezbollah MP says group has 'full right' to confront Israeli attacks

Hezbollah lawmaker Hassan Fadlallah declared on Saturday that his group possesses the "full right" to respond to Israeli attacks, asserting that the resistance movement will confront any aggression. His statement came as Israel continued its strikes on Lebanon, despite a ceasefire agreement announced the previous day.

Fadlallah stressed the importance of comprehensive respect for the ceasefire, stating, "For us, what concerns us is that the enemy fully and comprehensively respects the ceasefire, and doesn't attempt to attack our country and villages or seek to occupy any new position." He made these remarks in a statement issued on Saturday.

There is talk of a ceasefire. For us, what concerns us is that the enemy fully and comprehensively respects the ceasefire, and doesn't attempt to attack our country and villages or seek to occupy any new position.

He further elaborated on Hezbollah's stance, asserting, "the resistance has the full right to confront this enemy when it attacks us, as it is the aggressor and the occupier." This declaration underscores Hezbollah's position that its actions are defensive responses to Israeli military operations.

The comments highlight the ongoing tensions along the Israel-Lebanon border. Despite the announcement of a ceasefire, the situation remains volatile, with both sides exchanging accusations and maintaining readiness for further conflict. Fadlallah's statement serves as a clear warning to Israel regarding potential repercussions should the ceasefire be violated.
