Tehran, IRNA - Hezbollah's Deputy Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem has warned the Zionist regime if it insists on its warmongering attempts, they will receive stronger blows from the Resistance in the future.

Sheikh Naim Qassem said on Sunday that Operation Al-Aqsa Storm is creating a new phase in the region which will lead to cultural, and political progress plus an expansion of the resistance after the end of the war, Lebanese Al-Manar TV website reported.

Referring to the Zionist regime’s proposals on northern Palestine and southern Lebanon, he said that the Israeli regime is trying to show that it has options that allow the settlers to safely return to the north and keep Hezbollah and Resistance out of southern Lebanon, but they should know that the Zionist regime is not in a position to impose its options.

He added that the Zionist regime cannot return the settlers to the north, nor will it be able to achieve anything in this war or the end of it.

The Zionist regime must first halt the Gaza war to stop the war on the Lebanese front, and if they persist in warmongering attempts, they will receive stronger blows from the Resistance in the future.

The remarks came after Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu repeated his hollow threats against Hezbollah in Lebanon, and said that the regime restore security to the northern residents through diplomatic option or a military operation.
