Mahmoud Qamati, deputy head of Hezbollah's political council, said Tuesday that Hezbollah is on full alert and will respond proportionately to any Israeli ceasefire violation. He added that the pre-war situation will not return, according to the Hezbollah-affiliated outlet Abu Ali Express.
Mahmoud Qamati, deputy head of Hezbollah's political council, reiterated the group's posture of conditional deterrence on Tuesday morning, warning that Hezbollah will respond proportionately to any violation of the ceasefire by Israel. Speaking to the Hezbollah-affiliated outlet Abu Ali Express, Qamati stated: 'Hezbollah will respond in kind to any violation of the ceasefire by the Israeli regime. The situation that existed before the war will not return. Hezbollah is on full alert, with its finger on the trigger, and ready to confront any violation by the Israeli regime.'
The statement is the latest in a series of similar warnings from Hezbollah officials over the past 48 hours. As The Zioneer reported, a Hezbollah statement early Tuesday morning said the group would respond proportionately to any Israeli breach of the truce, maintaining its conditional restraint while reasserting its right to retaliate. Qamati's remarks echo that line, adding an explicit claim that pre-war conditions will not resume — suggesting Hezbollah sees the current arrangement as a new baseline, not a return to the status quo ante.
The comments come amid ongoing Israeli operations in Lebanon and a broader region-wide standoff. The Zioneer has previously reported on earlier Hezbollah warnings, including a senior figure on June 8 vowing a forceful response to any attack on Lebanese territory, and Qamati himself on June 21 refusing to disarm. The group's posture remains one of calibrated escalation, with each statement reinforcing its commitment to retaliatory action without triggering a full resumption of hostilities.
