Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem says his group is ready for a long confrontation with Israel, as the two sides fight another war in Lebanon, AFP reports.

“We have prepared ourselves for a long confrontation, and God willing, they (Israel) will be surprised on the battlefield,” Qassem said in a televised address, adding that “the enemy’s threats do not frighten us”.

“This is an existential battle, not a limited or simple battle. “
