Hezbollah chief warns Lebanon faces chaos if government confronts group

Hezbollah’s leader, Naim Qassem, has warned that the group will not disarm if Israel attacks and while its occupation continues.

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.
