Lebanese resistance fighters fully prepared for Israeli aggression, says Hezbollah officer

A Hezbollah officer says his comrades with the Lebanese resistance movement are fully prepared for any Israeli assault, and have been mobilized in two regions on the border between Lebanon and the 1948 Israeli-occupied territories, as well as the occupied Golan Heights and the Galilee region.

The officer, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Lebanon’s al-Mayadeen television news network in an interview aired on Friday that the mobilization of Hezbollah resistance fighters has operational purposes, emphasizing that the forces remain on high alert to face any Israeli act of aggression.

“The most outstanding achievement by Hezbollah was to draw a large number of Israeli forces from the internal and southern sectors of the occupied Palestinian lands to the northern front, which consequently eased the pressure on our brethren in the Gaza Strip,” he said.

The officer added that another major achievement was confusion of the occupying Tel Aviv regime, and avoidance of the conflict from spilling over the border.
