An unnamed Lebanese journalist said in an exclusive interview with i24NEWS that the assumption Hezbollah has been defeated is a misreading of the situation, portraying the group as operationally intact and resilient despite Israeli military pressure.
A Lebanese journalist, speaking anonymously in an exclusive interview with i24NEWS, argued that the widespread assumption Hezbollah has been defeated is a fundamental mistake. The remarks align with Hezbollah's own narrative of resilience and operational capability, which the group has promoted through a series of recent media appearances by senior figures.
As The Zioneer has reported, Hezbollah officials have repeatedly denied defeat and vowed to continue their armed campaign. The interview adds to a growing public relations effort aimed at countering Israel's declared military achievements and the emerging diplomatic framework between Israel and Lebanon.
The journalist's identity was not disclosed by i24NEWS, and the interview did not provide specific evidence to support the claim of Hezbollah's intact capabilities. The statement remains a single-source opinion, and no independent verification of the group's current operational status is available in the report.
