Clouds of smoke are rising there, and Hezbollah is believed to have a strong hold in these areas. However, till now there has been no news of direct ground encounter between Israeli army and Hezbollah terrorists.

Israel has said that it will continue attacks on Hezbollah until the Lebanon border area becomes safe for families. At the same time, Hezbollah has also vowed to continue rocket attacks. Hezbollah said on Monday that even though its top leaders, such as Hassan Nasrallah, Ali Karaki and senior IRGC commander Abbas Nilforushan, had been killed, it would not back down from the fight.

Qasim said that he is confident that Israel will not succeed in its goals and only Hezbollah will win this battle. Also, he promised to continue supporting Gaza.
