Lebanon’s Hezbollah refuses to disarm one year after Israel killed Hassan Nasrallah

Описание: Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem has said the armed Lebanese group will not give up its weapons, one year after Israel killed his predecessor, Hassan Nasrallah, in an air attack on southern Beirut.
Speaking on Saturday to the thousands who had gathered at Nasrallah’s tomb in Lebanon’s capital, Beirut, Qassem promised to maintain Hezbollah’s military capabilities, which have been significantly weakened by its recent war with Israel.
“We will never abandon our weapons, nor will we relinquish them,” he said, adding that Hezbollah would continue to “confront any project that serves Israel”.
His comments come after the new Lebanese government publicly committed to disarming the Iran-backed group.
Despite Israel agreeing to a ceasefire with Hezbollah nearly a year ago, it's launched regular attacks into Lebanon.

In an interview with Al Jazeera, US Ambassador and Special Envoy Tom Barrack says it's up to the Lebanese government to disarm the group.
