n a defiant speech, Hezbollah’s #2 who survived Friday’s Israeli decapitation strikes of the group’s leadership which killed Hassan Nasrallah, vowed that the Iran-backed group is ‘ready’ to take on any potential Israeli ground offensive into Lebanon.

Deputy chief Sheikh Naim Qassem on Monday insisted Hezbollah will continue to fight despite the huge series of blows which began with the pager explosions. “We are quite ready, if the Israelis want a ground incursion, the resistance forces are ready for that,” Qassem declared.
