TEHRAN (IQNA) – Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement's second in command Sheikh Naim Qassem said the movement will definitely respond to the Zionist regime’s recent move to assassinate one of its members.

 

In an interview with al-Mayadeen TV, he said Hezbollah will respond to the Zionist regime’s latest crime in the future.

He said the timing of the retaliation will not be announced so that the Israeli will remain worried.   

Let the Israelis have their own estimations and calculations in this regard, he added.

In a recent aerial aggression, Israeli assassinated Hezbollah member Ali Kamel Mohsen in Damascus.

Terrified of Hezbollah’s retaliation, Israel has sent a message to the Lebanese resistance movement saying that it didn’t intend to kill Mohsen in the aggression.

Sheikh Qassem further said there is no change of rules of engagement and the deterrent equation with Israel exists and we are not planning to change it.

He also dismissed the prospect of a war between the movement and Israel despite increased tensions in the last week.

“The atmosphere does not indicate a war ... It’s unlikely, the atmosphere of war in the next few months.”

Asked about the US harassment of an Iranian passenger plane in the Syrian airspace, Sheikh Qassem emphasized that the Americans want to frustrate and deactivate the strategic pact between Iran and Syria.

“Absence of US strategic project in the Middle East will allow the axis of resistance to achieve more victories.”
