Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem on Friday declared a “great victory” against Israel in his first speech since a ceasefire went into effect in Lebanon.

“I have decided to declare… officially and clearly that we are facing a great victory that surpasses that of July 2006,” Qassem said, adding: “We won because we prevented the enemy from destroying Hezbollah… (and) from annihilating or weakening the resistance.”
