Hezbollah Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem says the Lebanese resistance movement has chosen the path of confrontation over surrender, and its fighters are prepared to fight and sacrifice "without limits" in defense of Lebanon against the US-Israeli project of "Greater Israel."

In a statement on Wednesday, the Hezbollah chief outlined the existential stakes facing Lebanon, affirmed the resistance's unwavering commitment to the battle, and called for national unity against what he described as a joint US-Israeli aggression aimed at subjugating the country.

Sheikh Qassem said Lebanon faces two clear options, "either surrender and relinquish land, dignity, sovereignty, and the future of our generations, or engage in inevitable confrontation and resist the occupation to prevent it from achieving its goals."

He said the timing chosen by the resistance to respond to the aggression "denied the Israeli enemy the element of surprise, prevented it from isolating Lebanon, and nullified all pretexts."

The Hezbollah secretary-general praised the movement's fighters, saying they "have written the most magnificent epics of heroism, honor, patriotism, and dignity."

"They are determined to continue without limits, ready to sacrifice endlessly, and now serve as a shining symbol of nationalism and the beacon of the coming liberation."

Sheikh Qassem said the people of Lebanon "have displaced themselves in contribution to the jihad, endured as sacrificers and resistors, proudly and willingly offering their children, suffering far away from their homes and normal lives to secure a free and honorable future for their homeland and its people."
