US Backs All Israeli Attacks on Lebanon: Hezbollah Official
Hezbollah's Deputy Head of the Executive Council, Sheikh Ali Daamoush, stressed that the cancer ravaging Lebanon and the region is 'Israel,' along with the United States — the full partner of the Zionist entity in every crime it commits in Lebanon, Palestine, and the region. During his Friday sermon, he stated that the United States' primary goal in Lebanon is to protect 'Israel,' empower it to impose its control, achieve its objectives, and use it as a tool to subdue and suppress anyone who opposes American dominance in the region. He pointed out that 'Israel' violates the ceasefire and attacks the Lebanese under full American cover, to pressure Lebanon into submission to its demands — which are clear: disarming the resistance and stripping Lebanon of its sources of strength. Sheikh Daamoush asserted that anyone calling for the disarmament of the resistance before removing the 'Israeli' aggression and addressing its threats is serving the enemy's agenda, intentionally or unintentionally. He considered that talking about disarming the resistance at this time conflicts with Lebanon's interests and weakens its position and strength in the face of the 'Israeli' occupation and its continuous aggressions. Sheikh Daamoush affirmed that the matter of disarmament is not up for discussion now, and what can be discussed is a defensive strategy at the appropriate time — but only after the enemy withdraws, the captives are released, and the aggressions are halted. He stressed that the priority today is not debating the issue of arms, but rather halting the aggression, expelling the occupation, liberating the captives, reconstructing the country, implementing reforms, and activating state institutions to fulfill their duties toward citizens — without postponing any file or linking it to unrelated conditions. He confirmed Hezbollah's readiness to be an active partner alongside the government and parliament in achieving these priorities. He stated that if the aim behind the political and media campaigns against the resistance's arms is to intimidate or psychologically pressure Hezbollah and its supporters into surrendering to the enemy's demands — such attempts are futile. The resistance and its steadfast people, who have made the greatest sacrifices, cannot be broken, subdued, or pressured. They remain strong, resilient, and entitled to uphold their resistance, sources of strength, and the defense of their land and sovereignty. He concluded by affirming that instead of pressuring Lebanon and calling for the disarmament of the resistance, pressure should be placed on 'Israel' to implement the agreement and halt its aggressions — a responsibility the state must bear, by rejecting any discussion of the arms issue as long as there is occupation and aggression, and by exerting every effort to compel the 'Israeli' enemy to abide by the agreement, to protect its citizens and preserve its sovereignty.

Hezbollah Hints It Won't Disarm If Israel Still Occupies Southern Lebanon
A senior Hezbollah official has hinted that the Lebanese group will not lay down its weapons as long as Israel is occupying parts of the country. Mohammed Daamoush made his comments in Beirut during a sermon for Friday prayers adding that Israel's occupation of five strategic hilltops and what he said were daily violations of a ceasefire aim to pressure Lebanon to normalize relations with Israel. Daamoush said the state now controls the border with Israel and Lebanon's new government is backed by the international community and has weapons, so 'what have you done to face daily Israeli violations and aggression?' He called on authorities to convince the public about why weapons should only be held by the state, adding: 'When there is occupation and a continuing aggression weapons should be in the hands of men and everyone should repel this occupation.'

Hezbollah Committed to Reconstruction despite US-Israeli Schemes: Official
Deputy Head of Hezbollah Executive Council sheikh Ali Daamoush indicated that the Israeli assaults and violations of Lebanon's sovereignty are aimed at forcing the Lebanese to accept the normalization of ties, stressing that 'our people reject to normalize relations with the terrorist entity.' Delivering Friday sermon at Sayyed Zainab Complex in Beirut's Dahiyeh, Sheikh Daamoush pointed out that, 'just as our people did not bow to pressures and wars, they would not surrender to the new American and Israeli schemes'. His eminence maintained that the state has to protect the Lebanese people from the dangers of normalization as well as the Israeli ambitions, adding that US administration's complicity is trying to impose political terms on the Lebanese government pertaining to the reconstruction file. Sheikh Daamoush underlined rejection of any political terms, including the disarmament of the Resistance, adding that the Lebanese government must assume its reconstruction responsibility without subjecting to those conditions and prevent any Israeli de facto in the border area. Hezbollah is committed to reconstruction and paying compensations despite all difficulties, adding that the Lebanese government is being given a chance to assume its responsibilities regarding reconstruction and defense.

Hezbollah Will Neither Abandon Resistance Nor Let Lebanon Return to Time of Weakness: Sheikh Daamoush
Deputy Chief of Hezbollah Executive Council Sheikh Ali Daamoush stressed that the Resistance Party rejects Lebanon's subjection to US-Israeli dictates and threats to strike Beirut's airport as well as vital facilities. Delivering Friday sermon, Sheikh Daamoush called on the Lebanese government to tackle the Iranian flights file as it pertains to Lebanon's sopvereignty and dignity. 'US-Israeli ban on the landing of the Iranian flights at Beirut's airport confiscates the Lebanese decision, blatantly intervenes in Lebanon's international relations, and paves way for more dictates which may never end,' his eminence said. Sheikh Daamoush also underlined Hezbollah would neither accept Israeli occupation of even an inch of the Lebanese territory nor abandon the resistance path which would be the response to the Zionist aggression. Hezbollah official underscored that Hezbollah will never let Lebanon return to the time of weakness, stressing that the nation has the right to defend itself by all means and at whatever cost. 'We are powerful thanks to our faith, will, determination and the bravery of our resistance, army and people.' Sheikh Daamoush also affirmed, 'We are invited on Sunday to attend the funeral of an exceptional, historic leader in a civilized scene.' The funeral will be neither a referendum to measure the popular support for the resistance whose role obtains legitimacy when the occupation exists, nor a way to restore prestige because it has not been lost, according to Sheikh Daamoush. Sheikh Daamoush confirmed that the funeral will be attended by the loyal supporters of the resistance who will reiterate commitment to the path of the martyred leader who spent his honorable life defending Lebanon, its sovereignty and national dignity, achieved victories, thwarted the enemy's goals, held the cause of Palestine and the causes of the nation, and ascended as a martyr all the way to Al-Quds, truly deserving the title: Master of the Martyrs of the Nation. The day when Hezbollah martyred leaders Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah and Sayyed Hashem Safeiddine will be laid to rest won't be forgotten by the free people of the world, the committee tasked with organizing the funeral announced on Friday. In a press conference, the committee's Head Hussein Fadlallah tackled the final preparations of the funeral held on Sunday at Camille Chamoun Sports City Stadium.
