Hassan Nasrallah, secretary-general of Hezbollah, said in a speech on Friday that his troops would continue the fight against Israel from south Lebanon, despite a week which saw the group incur losses and civilian casualties.
In a televised speech to the nation he said that the time called for "expanding the battle", but added that they must not "stray from the main battle, which is to support Gaza".
“For years, Israel’s main goal has been to displace Palestinians from their lands and establish a Jewish state," the Shia cleric said. "They want to send people living in the West Bank to Jordan, the ‘Palestinians of '48’ to Lebanon, and those from Gaza to Egypt.”
"Americans and Israelis must know that Palestinians will not back down, no matter the sacrifices. The front in southern Lebanon will not stop," Nasrallah said.
At least 200 Hezbollah fighters have been killed in the clashes with Israeli forces since the fighting began on October 8.
