Iran Press/ West Asia: When asked about Donald Trump's election victory, Ibrahim al-Moussawi said: "It might be a change in the party who is in power, but when it comes to Israel, they have more or less the same policy."
"We want to see actions, we want to see decisions taken," he added.
Israel and Hezbollah have exchanged fire for more than a year, in parallel with the Gaza war, but fighting has escalated since late September, with Israeli troops intensifying bombing of Lebanon's south and east and making ground incursions into border villages.
Moussawi acknowledged the heavy toll of Israeli attacks that have blown apart thousands of buildings, mostly in Lebanon's Shi'ite Muslim-dominated south and east and the southern suburbs of the capital Beirut. But he said the group's military capabilities remained strong.
"Our hearts are broken - we are losing very dear lives. This feeling that (Israel) cannot be punished or brought to international justice is a result of U.S. support which renders them immune to accountability," he said.
On October 1, Israel launched a ground incursion into southern Lebanon, further escalating the situation. Lebanese officials emphasized their commitment to UN Resolution 1701, which aims to maintain peace along the border, and called for the resolution’s full implementation to ensure the protection of Lebanese civilians, soldiers, and peacekeepers stationed in the region.
At least 3,013 people have been killed and 13,553 wounded in Israeli attacks on Lebanon since the war on Gaza began.
