NNA - During an Ashura council in Saksakiya, MP Mohammad Raad, head of the "Loyalty to the Resistance" bloc, on Tuesday dismissed Israel's threats of a broad war in Lebanon as empty.

"The exhausted Israeli army can't wage a wide-scale war in Lebanon because we would retaliate a thousandfold," Raad declared.

Moreover, Raad criticized Israeli actions in Gaza, stressing that further violence would tarnish Israel's image and hasten its downfall.

Highlighting the resistance's impact, Raad noted significant disruptions in Israeli settler areas, including business closures and displacements, asserting that "victory will be clear through the enemy's substantial failure."
