Sheikh Ali Damoush, deputy chairman of the executive council of Hezbollah, has said that the Lebanese armed group will not engage in discussion of any matter related to the cross-border clashes between Hezbollah and Israel until the Israelis stop their “aggression against Gaza”.

According to Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA), he spoke at a ceremony commemorating a killed Hezbollah fighter, Abdul Jalil Ali Hamza, in the town of Al-Khader in the Bekaa Valley.

Damoush also said that “the Israeli predicament is deepening day after day as the war lasts, because the longer the aggression continues, the more and more exhausted the enemy becomes, whether on the Gaza front or the Lebanon front”.

“There is no choice but to stop the aggression,” he said.
