Hezbollah Chief Qassem Vows to Continue Resistance After 357 Killed in Israeli Strikes

Hezbollah Secretary General Naim Qassem delivered a defiant April 10 address vowing the resistance will continue until the very last breath and pledging to expel Israeli occupiers from Lebanon. Qassem said Israel launched its sprawling Wednesday strikes to mask its battlefield failure against Hezbollah's retaliatory operations. He urged Lebanon's state, army, people, and resistance to unite for sovereignty. The speech sets a hardline backdrop for next week's Lebanon-Israel talks in Washington.
