Hezbollah Secretary Sheikh Naeem Qassem confirmed that there will be no return to what was before March 2. He said: We will not accept a ceasefire that includes “freedom of action” for Israel. He added: Israel's survival on Lebanese soil is impossible, and any violation we will face and deal with. He pointed out in his speech that the aggression failed and was unable to achieve its goals, but the Israelis remained betting that circumstances would change. He said: For us, a ceasefire means a complete cessation of fire at sea, land and air and not advancing in preparation for withdrawal.
