Hezbollah Sec-Gen to Fighters: We Will Not Leave Battlefield Until Allah Grants Us Victory
Sheikh Qassem praises Hezbollah’s fighters as “Men of Allah” whose faith and sacrifices sustain the Resistance, while reaffirming that the group’s weapons are a Lebanese internal matter
Lebanon, PUREWILAYAH.COM — Sheikh Naim Qassem pledged that the Resistance will not leave the battlefield until Allah grants victory, praising Hezbollah’s fighters for their faith and sacrifices and stressing that the group’s weapons are a Lebanese internal matter beyond negotiation with Israel.
In a message addressed to commanders and fighters of the Islamic Resistance, Sheikh Naim Qassem said Hezbollah is confronting a broad coalition led by Israel and the United States, but affirmed that the Resistance will neither submit nor abandon its mission to defend Lebanon and its people.
“The Israeli-American aggression seeks to subjugate Lebanon and turn it into part of Greater Israel,” he said. “We will not submit, we will not surrender, and we will continue to defend Lebanon and its people no matter how long it takes and no matter how great the sacrifices.”
He added that the price of resistance is far less than the cost of surrender and said the enemy will ultimately be forced to retreat.
“Your Faith Is Thunderbolts Upon the Occupier”
Sheikh Naim Qassem devoted much of his message to honoring the fighters who continue to confront Israeli aggression across multiple fronts.
“Your drones terrify the wicked and the tyrants of the earth. Your missiles shake their lives and fill them with anxiety and psychological crises. But more important than all of this is your faith,” he said.
“Your faith is thunderbolts upon the occupier. Your spirituality is a light that dispels their darkness. Your advance to the battlefield unsettles their hearts and minds.”
He described the fighters as “Men of Allah” and as the embodiment of dignity, liberation, sovereignty, and independence.
“You are the life of dignity, not humiliation; liberation, not surrender; sovereignty, not subjugation; independence, not servitude,” he said.
Heirs to the Path of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah
Sheikh Naim Qassem said the fighters are carrying forward the legacy of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Sayyed Hashem Safieddine, and the martyrs, wounded fighters, and prisoners whose sacrifices have shaped the Resistance.
He also paid tribute to the people of southern Lebanon, the Beqaa Valley, Beirut’s southern suburbs, Mount Lebanon, and northern Lebanon, describing them as steadfast partners in the struggle against occupation.
“I thank Allah for granting me the honor to be with you and to serve you,” he said. “Peace be upon each and every Resistance fighter, and condolences and congratulations to the families of the martyrs.”
“We Will Not Return to the Situation Before March 2”
Reaffirming Hezbollah’s determination to sustain the confrontation, Sheikh Naim Qassem said the Resistance will continue responding to Israeli attacks and violations and “will not return to the situation before March 2.”
He warned that Hezbollah will not abandon the field and vowed to turn the battlefield into “a living hell” for Israel until the occupation is forced to abandon its objectives.
Resistance Weapons Beyond Negotiation
Turning to the political dimension, Sheikh Naim Qassem stressed that no external party has any authority over Hezbollah’s weapons or Lebanon’s internal affairs.
“No one outside Lebanon has any authority over the weapons of the Resistance or over the organization of Lebanon’s internal affairs,” he said. “This is a Lebanese internal matter and is not part of any negotiations with the enemy.”
He called on Lebanese officials to pursue indirect negotiations, saying direct talks with Israel would amount to one-sided concessions that serve only the occupation.
Five Sovereign Priorities for Lebanon
Sheikh Naim Qassem said Hezbollah stands ready to cooperate with the Lebanese state to achieve five national priorities: ending Israeli aggression by land, sea, and air; securing a full Israeli withdrawal from occupied Lebanese territory; obtaining the release of prisoners; ensuring the return of displaced residents to their towns and villages; and rebuilding areas devastated by the war.
He also thanked Iran for its continued support for Lebanon and said any initiative that contributes to ending the aggression is welcome.
Concluding his message, Sheikh Naim Qassem reaffirmed that the Resistance will remain steadfast until Allah grants victory.
“We ask Allah, Glorified and Exalted, that victory be near,” he said.
Full text of The Message
Your aircraft skim the earth and choke the Israeli occupier. Your drones terrify the wicked and the tyrants of the earth. Your missiles shake their lives, and they live in anxiety and psychological crises. But more important than all of this is you. Your faith is thunderbolts upon the occupier, your spirituality is a light that dispels their darkness, and your advance to the battlefield unsettles their hearts and minds.
You do not die: either you remain in the field, or you become living martyrs with your Lord, receiving His sustenance. They said: You are finished and you will lose! But your jihad has illuminated an epic of steadfastness that has astonished the world. Where did you come from? How did you prepare yourselves? What is this inexhaustible number of yours? Can you tell us about the source of the noble life with which you have been endowed?
You stretched your rope to the heavens, and your Lord granted you that which never runs dry. You are the South of purity and dignity, and the pillar of a sovereign and independent Lebanon is the South. Through the liberation of the South, the true meaning of humanity is revealed.
With you stands the Beqaa, the land of honor and support. How great are its people, who nourish life with heads held high. With you stands the Dahiyeh of pride and defiance, whose light shines as a reservoir for resistance against occupiers and tyrants. With you stands Beirut, the flower of the free and the emblem of liberty and grandeur. With you stands Mount Lebanon, defiant against all intruders. With you stands the North, a beacon of unity and solidarity.
You are the life of dignity, not humiliation. You are liberation, not surrender. You are sovereignty, not subjugation. You are independence, not servitude. You are the sons of the most exalted Master of the Martyrs of the Ummah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Sayyed Hashem Safieddine, and all the martyrs, the wounded, and the prisoners. You are goodness, honor, light, and morality.
You are the Men of Allah, shaking the feet of the tyrants who occupy the land, causing them to flee in defeat. You draw strength from your noble and great families, who have given the blood of their fathers and loved ones, whose steadfastness is nearly without equal, and whose sacrifices include displacement and the loss of their homes and possessions. Salutations to our people, the crown upon our heads, the embodiment of dignity, patience, and victory. My beloved ones, the light of my eyes and my heart.
I thank Allah the Almighty for honoring me to be with you and in your service. My greetings to each and every one of the Resistance fighters, and my condolences and congratulations to the brothers of your martyrs. (PW)
