Hezbollah chief warns Lebanon faces chaos if government confronts group

Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem has warned that the group will not disarm while Israel continues its attacks and occupation of Lebanon.

Speaking on Friday, Qassem said the Lebanese government would bear responsibility if the country’s internal situation deteriorates, Reuters reported.

There would be "no life" in Lebanon if the government tries to confront the group said Qassem, emphasising the potential for widespread instability if the government continues to attempt to disarm it, as the US and Israel have demanded.
