Hizbullah Secretary-General Naim Qassem: I Officially Declare the War to Be a Victory Greater Than the One We Had in 2006; the Enemy Failed to Destroy Hizbullah

In his November 29, 2024 address that was broadcast on Al-Araby TV (Qatar), along with numerous other media outlets, Hizbullah Secretary-General Naim Qassem declared the recent war with Israel a "great victory," surpassing even the 2006 conflict. Qassem highlighted that Hizbullah's success lay in preventing Israel from destroying the resistance, asserting, "We defeated the enemy."
