"We say before the whole world that we will remain a resistance," the Iranian-backed terror leader said.
Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem told Lebanon’s Al-Manar TV, which is affiliated with the Iranian-backed terrorist organization, that it had a “legitimate right” to possess weapons, despite the Nov. 26 truce deal with Israel requiring it to disarm.
“Possession of weapons is an inseparable part of our legitimate right to defend our homeland. Resistance is a legitimate right,” Qassem said in an interview. “The Lebanese state decides how it wants to act internally regarding the handling of weapons. Israel has nothing to do with it.”
“We say before the whole world that we will remain a resistance, even if we are left with only our fingernails or a stick, and we will not stop,” he said, according to a translation by Iran’s official Press TV outlet.
