Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem on November 29 declared victory over Israel and pledged to coordinate closely with the Lebanese military to implement the ceasefire agreement brokered by the United States.
“We won because we prevented the enemy from destroying Hezbollah… [and] from annihilating or weakening the resistance,” Qassem said in his first speech since the ceasefire agreement came into effect on November 27.
Under the ceasefire agreement, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) will have 60 days to withdraw from the towns it currently occupies in southern Lebanon. During the same period, the Lebanese military will take responsibility for the region and a U.S.-led committee will be established to adjudicate complaints regarding potential ceasefire violations.
Hezbollah is also supposed to leave southern Lebanon, and its military infrastructure should be dismantled. The U.S. has also reportedly provided a side letter specifying Israel’s rights to respond to any violations of the ceasefire.
Qassem said Hezbollah had “approved the deal, with the resistance strong in the battlefield, and our heads held high with our right to defend [ourselves].”
“The resistance will be ready to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of Lebanon’s weakness along with our partners… first and foremost the army,” he stressed.
“The coordination between the resistance and the Lebanese military will be at a high level to implement the commitments of the agreement,” Qassem continued, adding that “no one is betting on problems or disagreements” with the military.
The Lebanese military has already sent additional troops to the south but is reportedly preparing a detailed deployment plan.
Qassem also vowed in his speech that Hezbollah’s support for Palestine “will not stop and will continue through different means.”
“To those that were betting that Hezbollah would be weakened, we are sorry, their bets have failed,” the leader said.
The IDF had warned that any violation of the ceasefire agreement would be met with a response. On November 27, it said that a mobile medium-range Hezbollah rocket launcher was struck in southern Lebanon after it moved. Lebanese media reported other Israeli attacks, including one that targeted a funeral in the town of Khiam.
Also on November 27, the IDF published a summary of its activities against Hezbollah over the past 14 months of the conflict, which broke out after the group began launching attacks against Israel in response to the war on the Gaza Strip.
According to IDF data, Israeli strikes hit over 12,500 Hezbollah targets, including 1,600 command centers and 1,000 weapons depots since the terror group began its near-daily attacks on October 8, 2023.
The conflict between the IDF and Hezbollah claimed the lives of more than 3,800 in Lebanon and at least 121 others in Israel.
While the U.S.-brokered ceasefire has ended the fighting, the conflict is not yet resolved. Senior Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has already warned that Israel would resume military operations against Hezbollah if the agreement collapses.

all the fakeraelis will do next time is quickly overrun the positions of the lebanese army if hezbollah abandons their positions in the south. many in the lebanese army are most likely fakeraeli agents anyway and will spy for fakesrael and gather intelligence for them while in south lebanon. this will not go well of these are the conditions.
lebanese army is only a joke
like saying i won war when 3 mulattos raped me
if hezbollah won the war, why did they stop before the jews finally were kicked to kingdom come which must be the ultimate end result for hezbollah, for the iraqi resistence, for the houthis and for iran and incidentally also for egypt, for saudi, for kuwait, bahrain and so on. not one country in the region that doesn’t want the jews gone and gone for good!
1600 command centres that is a lot! i guess the every building in lebanon was a command center for the israhellis.
yes, and i’d dare to say, atleast 16,000 fighters inside killed, just in ‘command centers’.
one can only laugh to theirs fantasy numbers.
cowards! not even the most radical hezbollah supporters would beleieve hezbollah won. southfront needs to write a detailed analysis of this war, explaining who lost what, and its immediate and future consequences for iran and the region. i can volunteer to write such an article if southfront can contact me. just send an email to henngwah@gmail.com
the jews caused a lot of destruction from the air but on the ground the scum is useless. and continuously during the jews air war, unopposed, hezbollah sent their drones and missiles and the jews were flabbergasted since their iron dome were supposed to deal with any aerial attacks – but no the iron dome is out of date, thus you should calibrate that useless brain of yours to align your mind with the reality on the ground
😂 yes cowards. because if it was you been hit by a 2000 pound day in and day out you would just say to the israhelli, that’s it!? i bet you piss your pants when you hear the first bullet passes your head 😂
you have a group of fighters with no air force not f-15s not migs at least no tanks , no howitzers , no top of line rocket launchers no air “defenses” and a quarter of the riches” are traitors …that alone win my respect and i from the land of the imprisoned home of the oportunist salute them
the israelis made some big claims…then had to walk them all back. hezbollah won by surviving and inflicting pain on the jews in ways they never experienced before. the tik tok israeli army thought they would waltz in to the litani river. lol
lol. hezbolla didn’t win shit. antichrist kicked their ass.
ok shlomo!!
see a doctor to get yourbrain set straight!
all right, then, we’ll call it a draw lol if they keep attacking israel, israel will render lebanon an uninhabitable irrecoverable shambles full of death and wreckage and no pity or assistance from the international community. hamas, take note, your genitals are also in jeopardy here. live and die in squalor and wreckage, or make peace and disarm, your call.
on november 27, it said that a mobile medium-range hezbollah rocket launcher was struck in southern lebanon after it moved. lebanese media reported other israeli attacks, including one that targeted a funeral in the town of khiam.
sooo is it this a break of ‘cease-fire’? or just zionists are allowed to kill the ‘enemy threats’?
the jews were hard up and about to be defeated which suited the american *nts ot at all so they forced a cease fire so they could help the jews to get back on their feet. the jews’ defences were more or less depleted, the iron dome leaking like a sieve and would be of little use if iran set about an aerial attack with missiles and drones and what not. the jews were circling the drain!
victory? leaving south lebanon and dismantling theyr bases and defences there and handing it over to the lebanese joke army? you must be a braindead moron to call that even close a victory.
the bureaucrats love to claim responsibility for the life or death actions of those ‘beneath them’.
