Senior Hezbollah official Ali Damush said Monday during the funeral of Hezbollah's top military chief Haytham Ali Tabatabai that his killing aimed to push Hezbollah into "surrendering and submitting, but this goal will never be achieved".
Israel was "worried about Hezbollah's possible response -- and should remain worried", he said, urging Lebanese authorities to "confront the aggression by all means... and reject the pressures that seek to push Lebanon to comply with American dictates and Israeli conditions".
Damush said that all the government's concessions, from monopolizing weapons to accepting the U.S. proposal and negotiations with Israel, have been ineffective. "They must pressure the Israeli enemy to halt its aggression," he added.
"Kill and destroy as much as you like, we will not accept any proposal or initiative before the halt of hostilities and violations, and before the Israeli enemy commits to the ceasefire."
