Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem says Israel failed to break the group on anniversary of Nasrallah's killing

On September 27, 2026, Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem told a large crowd in Beirut that Israel had failed to break the group's resistance, speaking on the second anniversary of Hassan Nasrallah's assassination. The gathering, attended by tens of thousands, took place near Nasrallah's tomb in the southern suburbs. Qassem also addressed stalled disarmament talks, insisting that the south must be liberated first. Hezbollah, weakened by past conflicts, has drawn Lebanon into war again in 2026, with Israel maintaining a security zone in the south.
