During the funeral of Ibrahim Aqil in Beirut, the deputy secretary general of Hezbollah, Naim Qassem, delivered a powerful speech condemning Israel for what he described as 'war crimes that are painful to us.' Aqil was killed in an Israeli airstrike in southern Beirut, following coordinated attacks that targeted Hezbollah fighters, resulting in numerous injuries and casualties.
Qassem stated that a 'battle without limits' has commenced as a response to Israel's actions. He emphasized that Hezbollah did not need to issue threats or specify its retaliation, indicating that recent events have escalated the conflict to a new level.
