Hezbollah’s Deputy Secretary General Naim Qassem said the expansion of the war on Lebanon is not foreseeable in the near future.

Speaking to Russian outlet Sputnik, Qassem indicated: "Hezbollah is committed to respond proportionally to Israeli provocations while avoiding civilian casualties."

Domestically, Hezbollah’s number two said that some in Lebanon are “dreaming of a war aimed at annoying or weakening Hezbollah.”

“I believe that they will see annoying dreams, because reality is not affected by their visions and they don’t have any impact on the ground. There is a strong resistance that is confronting Israel,  it will triumph and they will be more annoyed,” Qassem went on to say.
