The leader of Lebanese terrorist organization Hezbollah has said that his group would continue to fight Israel, in the midst of strikes launched by both parties this week, following a U.S. announcement of a two-week ceasefire with Iran.

Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem said in a statement on April 10 through Hezbollah’s Al-Manar TV that the group would not return to the previous status quo and signaled more fighting would occur, saying that “together—as a state, an army, a people, and a resistance—we will protect our country, restore its sovereignty, and expel the occupier.”
