Regional resistance groups commend Hezbollah’s resilience as a ceasefire agreement commences following Israel’s unsuccessful campaign

Iraq’s Kata’ib Hezbollah, an anti-terror organization, has commended the ceasefire agreement reached between Israel and Lebanon. The group emphasized that the truce was only achievable due to the unwavering resolve of the fighters from the Lebanese resistance movement, Hezbollah.

In a statement released on Wednesday, Kata’ib Hezbollah commented on the recent ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, which officially took effect earlier in the day. This ceasefire brings a temporary halt to almost 14 months of conflict between the two nations.

The statement emphasized that the decision was unequivocally made by Lebanon, asserting that any temporary halt in operations by resistance factions in the region would not undermine the cohesion of the resistance alliance.

The organization stated that additional factions are expected to align with them, bolstering the resistance front against adversaries of Allah, His Messenger, and the faithful.

Kata’ib Hezbollah has accused the United States of being complicit with Israel in committing acts of violence, destruction, and displacement, asserting that the U.S. will eventually be held accountable for these actions. Concurrently, President Joe Biden announced that a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon has officially been implemented as of Wednesday morning.

The Iraqi anti-terror organization has reiterated its dedication to the Palestinian cause, underscoring its unwavering support for Palestinians in Gaza. The group affirmed that it remains steadfast in its commitment, regardless of the sacrifices that may be necessary.

“We remain resolute despite threats, deceit, or the criminal tactics of our adversaries. It is our duty to support the faithful,” the statement declared.

A ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah took effect at 04:00 local time (0200 GMT) on Wednesday. Under the terms of the agreement, Israeli forces are mandated to withdraw from southern Lebanon, while the Lebanese army is set to be deployed in the affected region.

In late September, the Israeli government, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, launched an extensive military campaign in Lebanon with revised objectives aimed at facilitating the return of hundreds of thousands of settlers to northern territories in occupied Palestine. Recently, Netanyahu announced that Israel’s security cabinet has given the green light to a ceasefire agreement brokered by the United States and France.

Israeli military leaders initially vowed to dismantle Hezbollah’s operations in southern Lebanon, aiming to fully remove its presence from the region. Despite these intentions, they ultimately agreed to a ceasefire deal without attaining their stated objectives.

Far-right Israeli Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir stated on Tuesday that the agreement reached between Israel and Lebanon fails to fulfill the objectives of the conflict, specifically regarding the safe return of northern settlers to their homes.

Opposition leader Yair Lapid criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s administration, stating it had been “dragged into an agreement with Hezbollah,” while the destruction of northern towns in the occupied territories unfolded, residents faced the collapse of their livelihoods, and the military was left fatigued.

Yemen’s Ansarullah group claims Israel has acquiesced to accepting a ceasefire agreement with Lebanon.

On Tuesday, the Ansarullah resistance movement of Yemen lauded the resilience of Hezbollah and the Lebanese populace amidst the severe Israeli attacks. The movement expressed confidence in the strategic decisions of the Lebanese resistance group following the establishment of a ceasefire agreement between the two parties.

Ansarullah spokesman Mohammed Abdul-Salam stated that Israel would not have agreed to the ceasefire without encountering formidable resistance that remained steadfast despite the challenges posed by the recent targeted assassinations.

A spokesperson for Hezbollah stated that the group has significantly advanced its operational efforts, increasing both in frequency and sophistication. This escalation, according to the spokesperson, compelled the Israeli government and its American ally to pursue a ceasefire deal that safeguards Lebanon’s security, sovereignty, and independence.
