NNA - At a ceremony for martyr Mustafa Hassan Yassin, Hezbollah's MP Mohammad Raad addressed the gathering, including political figures, religious scholars, and families of martyrs. Raad criticized Israel's claims of progressing to a third phase in Gaza, labeling it a deceptive admission of failure. He stated, "The enemy's truth and failures have been exposed. Instead of isolating the resistance, it (the resistance) has become a phenomenon attracting supporters and fighters, expressing the conscience of millions in our oppressed world."

Raad emphasized that the Palestinian cause has become a foremost issue in international forums and noted that Israel is now shunned even by its former supporters. 

Furthermore, Raad remarked that the sponsors of the Zionist enemy will attempt to disguise its failure as a victory but predicted the ultimate fate of Israel's project as failure and disappointment. 

Raad finally questioned how an enemy struggling in Gaza could threaten Lebanon with war, using such threats to cover its failures.
