🇮🇱🇱🇧🇱🇧 | Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz: 'The goal of the war in the north was to damage Hezbollah's capabilities and create the conditions for the safe return of northern residents to their homes. We will see in the next 60 days whether this goal is achieved.'

🇵🇸🇱🇧🇱🇧 | Hamas on the ceasefire in Lebanon:

'We commend the pivotal role played by the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon in supporting Gaza and the Palestinian resistance, as well as the immense sacrifices made by Hezbollah and its leadership, foremost among them the martyred Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. We value the steadfastness of the Lebanese people and their ongoing solidarity with the Palestinian people in facing the zionist occupation and its brutal aggression. We ask Allah to safeguard Lebanon and its people from all harm.

The enemy’s acceptance of the agreement with Lebanon without achieving the conditions it had set represents a significant milestone in shattering Netanyahu’s illusions of reshaping the Middle East by force and his delusions of defeating the forces of resistance or disarming them.

We affirm that this agreement would not have been possible without the steadfastness of the resistance and the popular cradle that surrounds it. We are confident in the continued support of the Axis of Resistance for our people and their struggle through all possible means.

As we in Hamas closely follow the developments of this agreement in Lebanon, we express our commitment to cooperating with any efforts to establish a ceasefire in Gaza. We are keen to end the aggression against our people within the framework of the national terms agreed upon, which include a ceasefire, the withdrawal of occupation forces, the return of displaced persons, and the realization of a genuine and comprehensive prisoner exchange deal.'

🇾🇪🇱🇧🇱🇧 | Yemen's Ansar Allah on the ceasefire in Lebanon:

'We salute the great resilience of Hezbollah and the dear Lebanese people in confronting the brutal Israeli aggression. Through this steadfastness and the unity of the people, army, and resistance, Lebanon has achieved another victory by repelling this aggression and thwarting its malicious goals.

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon, with its immense sacrifices, has only grown deeper in its roots, stronger, and more steadfast. It has excelled in its escalating operations, both in quantity and quality, forcing the Zionist enemy and its American sponsor to agree to a ceasefire that preserves Lebanon’s security, sovereignty, and independence.

We have full confidence in the choices of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon. We believe its wise leadership has managed to regain the initiative in a short time despite the significant wounds inflicted upon the resistance, especially after the assassination of the esteemed Secretary-General, the martyr of Islam and Muslims, His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah—may Allah's blessings be upon him. The Israeli enemy would not have relented and accepted a ceasefire were it not for its confrontation with a resilient resistance that stood firm against treacherous assassination crimes. This resistance rose with even greater ferocity, proving its ability to engage in a prolonged war of attrition—something a fragile and weak entity like the Zionist regime cannot endure. As described by the martyred leader His Eminence Sayyed Nasrallah, this entity is more fragile than a spider’s web.

The martyrs of Hezbollah are martyrs on the path to Al-Quds. Hezbollah has performed admirably on this challenging path, continuing its support for Gaza and Palestine despite the shameful and disgraceful Arab and Islamic betrayal, with rare exceptions.

The struggle against the Zionist enemy is inevitable, and the wars with it are rounds in a conflict that will inevitably end with its demise, God willing.'

🇮🇶🇱🇧 | Iraq's Kata'ib Hezbollah:

'The ceasefire between the fronts of the conflict in Lebanon and the Zionist entity would not have been possible without the steadfastness of Hezbollah’s fighters and the inability of the Zionists to achieve their objectives, making the decision uniquely Lebanese.
The American enemy is a partner of the Zionist entity in all crimes of treachery, killing, destruction, and displacement, and it must pay the price for this sooner or later.

The pause of one party within the Axis of Resistance will not affect the unity of the battlefields; instead, new forces will join to strengthen the sacred struggle against the enemies of Allah, His Messenger, and the believers.

We reaffirm our unwavering stance on the Palestinian cause, a core issue for which precious blood is shed, as has been in Lebanon and by the forces of the Axis.
We, in Kata’ib Hezbollah, will not abandon our people in Gaza regardless of the sacrifices, undeterred by the threats, treachery, or criminal methods of our enemies.'

🇱🇧❗️| Official Statement by Hezbollah (1):

'In support of our steadfast Palestinian people, in backing their valiant and honorable resistance, and in defense of Lebanon and its resilient people, the Islamic Resistance continues its journey, answering the call of its Secretary-General and supreme martyr, His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, may Allah sanctify his soul, and under the banner of his successor, His Eminence Sheikh Naim Qassem, may Allah preserve him. Over more than 13 months, the Resistance has maintained its pledge and fight, achieving victory over the delusional enemy that has failed to break its resolve or will. It is the battlefield that has spoken, with steadfast fighters relying on Allah to thwart the enemy’s goals, defeat its army, and pen with their blood epics of resilience and defiance during the battles of 'Al-Aqsa Flood' and 'The Formidable in Might.'

On this glorious occasion, the Resistance announces the following:

– Since the launch of 'Al-Aqsa Flood' operations on October 8, 2023, the Islamic Resistance has conducted more than 4,637 (announced) military operations over 417 days, averaging 11 operations daily.

– Since the start of Israeli enemy aggression on Lebanon and the launch of 'The Formidable in Might' operations on September 17, 2024, the Resistance has executed 1,666 diverse military operations, averaging 23 operations daily. These targeted Israeli army sites, barracks, bases, cities, and settlements, ranging from the Lebanese border to beyond Tel Aviv. The operations also included heroic confrontations against ground incursions into Lebanese territories.

– Within the framework of 'The Formidable in Might' operations, the Resistance conducted 105 military operations under the qualitative 'Khaybar' series. These targeted dozens of strategic military and security bases, many for the first time in the enemy's history, employing qualitative ballistic and precision missiles and advanced drones, reaching depths of 150 km into occupied Palestinian territory, beyond Tel Aviv.

– Cumulative losses inflicted on the Israeli army since its ground operation into Lebanese territories on October 1, 2024, until the issuance of this statement include:

– Over 130 soldiers and officers were killed, with more than 1,250 wounded.
– Destruction of 59 Merkava tanks, 11 military bulldozers, 2 Hummers, 2 armored vehicles, and 2 personnel carriers.
– Downing of 6 'Hermes 450' UAVs, 2 'Hermes 900' UAVs, and one quadcopter.
*These figures do not include losses at military bases, sites, settlements, and occupied cities.

The Islamic Resistance Operations Room emphasizes the following:

– During the Israeli ground operation into Lebanese territories since October 1, 2024, and due to the steadfastness of our fighters, the invading forces failed to occupy or secure any of the first-tier frontline towns—despite continuous aggression since the start of Al-Aqsa Flood. They also failed to establish a military-security buffer zone as they had hoped and were unable to prevent rocket and drone launches into occupied territory. Even on the last day of aggression, our fighters continued targeting the enemy's depth from within border towns.'

🇱🇧❗️| Official Statement by Hezbollah (2):

– 'The second phase of the ground operation was merely a political and media announcement. The enemy failed to advance into second-tier frontline towns, suffering heavy losses in Al-Khiam (which it withdrew from thrice), Ainatha, Tallousa, Bint Jbeil, and Al-Qawzah. The sole attempt to advance into Al-Bayyadah and Shamaa in the western sector turned into a graveyard for the tanks and elite troops of the Israeli enemy army, who were forced to retreat under the Resistance's blows.

– The Resistance's defensive strategy is based on area-specific defense. It has prepared over 300 defensive lines south of the Litani River, each fully equipped in terms of manpower, equipment, and readiness. The outcomes in Al-Bayyadah and Al-Khiam stand as clear proof.

– The Islamic Resistance Operations Room reaffirms that its fighters across all military specializations remain fully prepared to confront Israeli enemy ambitions and aggression. Their eyes remain fixed on the movements and withdrawals of enemy forces beyond the borders, with their hands ready on the trigger, in defense of Lebanon's sovereignty and for the honor and dignity of its people.'
