An unnamed Hizbullah officer with his face blurred said in an interview that was uploaded to alkhanadeq.com on February 16, 2022 that Israel has become very weak and will be defeated "very soon" because it does not have fighting spirit. He compared this to the young mujahideen of Hizbullah and the Islamic "resistance," who he said have a spirit of fighting and martyrdom. In addition, he said that Hizbullah's capabilities will surprise Israel in the next confrontation, which he said will "spell the end" of Israel. The name of the website on which the interview was posted, alkhanadeq.com, means "the trenches" in Arabic.
Officer: "Indeed, Israel has fallen. No matter how Israel maneuvers or acts, it is unable to do what it did against the Arab armies. Israel has now become very weak. The reason for its weakness is not because it lacks weapons, military power, or technology. Israel does not have fighting spirit. We do have fighting spirit.
"The spirit of martyrdom that the young mujahideen of the Islamic resistance have is what has defeated this enemy on all the battlefields - from 1982 until their defeat in 2000, as well as in 2006, and Allah willing, [Israel] will be defeated very soon.
"Any front that Israel dares to open with the resistance will spell the end of this entity, the Israeli enemy, inshallah, especially since the Islamic resistance has obtained very high capabilities, and it can say to this enemy: 'Enough!' Without a doubt, the next confrontation will surprise the Israeli enemy entity, with the capabilities of the Islamic resistance."
